II. POWER OF PROCESSING
Most computers still follow Von Neumann’s computer
architecture, where instructions are performed
sequentially, but really fast. However, recent research in
quantum and parallel computing have introduced next
generation machines which process information
differently and much faster than contemporary computers.
Similarly to our brain, new computers are processing
instructions concurrently. This kind of processing is not
limited to a single processor, as instructions execution
often includes multi-core systems or even more than one
computer in form of computer clusters.
These days, we already have computer systems built
from computers connected with each-other, forming
global processing systems with thousands and thousands
of cores that can process information extremely fast,
which is needed for improved real-time user experience
and development of Internet of things (IoT). Today,
almost any electronic device can be connected to the web
and it can send its sensory data to the cloud services.
Moreover, these devices could also offer additional
processing power, and therefore, enhance the overall
performance of the system.
