Recently the concept of massively parallel processing has regained popularity as relatively inexpensive computers and large of amounts of memory can be combined to solve problems not previously able to be tackled.
Even Microsoft is getting into the game with its Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) that enables SQL Server customers evolve their SQL databases to Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architecture to take advantage of commodity hardware.
The first successful big data technology was enterprise data warehouses that implement massively parallel processing, scale to the petabytes, handle batch and real-time latencies with equal agility, and provide connectors to structured and unstructured sources.
Mr Joy says that his new design, which turns a single chip into a parallel-processing system, can handle huge amounts of video and audio data at speeds that would overwhelm the usual Intel chip.
However, if a user wanted to replay every transaction on the Hong Kong stock exchange, he would have to reprogram the application to run it in parallel across multiple processing cores.
