AI’s burgeoning energy appetite is driving efforts to make more efficient computer chips. But chips are only part of the data ...

As data grows, a shift in computing paradigm is underway. I started my professional career in the 1990s, during massive shift from mainframe computing to the heyday of client/server computing and ...

The quest for the ideal data center location has evolved from a reactive choice to a strategic, forward-looking exercise.

Instead, a new paradigm, one heavily reliant upon cognitive computing and its myriad capabilities, is necessary to effectively tame semi-structured and unstructured data, and to do so with the degree ...

EMC has acquired Greenplum and is building a Data Computing Products Division around it. Is this move purely opportunistic or part of a grander strategy?

Edge computing is revolutionizing data processing by bringing computation closer to the source, enabling real-time decision-making.

The University of Chicago is launching the Center for Data and Computing, a research center for developing new methods in computation and data analytics and applying them to ambitious projects across ...

Inspired by A New History of Modern Computing by Thomas Haigh and Paul E. Ceruzzi. But the selection of key events in the journey from ENIAC to Tesla, from Data Processing to Big Data, is mine ...

Quantum computing will be able to process massive amounts of data at extraordinary speeds, but challenges exist in data storage. How will today’s storage systems keep pace?

Edge Computing is definitely a thing, but the computing need not occur at the edge. Instead what is needed is an ability to compute (anywhere) on streaming data from large numbers of dynamically ...
