What is the future for computing?
Future computers promise to be even faster than today’s computers and smaller than a deck of cards. Perhaps they will become the size of coins and offer “smart” or artificial intelligence features like expert intelligence, neural network pattern recognition features, or natural language capabilities.
What will happen to computers in 2030?
The PC of 2030 We’re entering a period of intensified innovation in PC hardware. Over the next ten years, our machines will become even thinner and lighter, faster and more powerful, and more closely aligned to our smartphone experience than ever before.
How will computers of the future be made?
For Peter McMahon there are many ways of devising future computers. His exploration begins with creating qubits—or quantum bits—using superconducting circuits and photonics.
Are quantum computers the future of computing?
In the future, quantum computers may be just one of many different processors best suited to do specialized tasks, McMahon says. “Can we find a way of doing computing that maybe doesn’t solve all the tasks we have, but solves some of the more important ones more effectively?” he asks.
What is the future of cloud-based distributed computing?
With the growing popularity of machine learning and data science, which are computationally intensive and require high-performance systems, as well as the increasing online presence of most corporations, this trend in cloud-based distributed computing is not expected to slow down anytime soon.
Can a quantum computer be too big to simulation?
“A quantum computer would not suffer from the exponential size of the state of the system being simulated because it can be mapped to the internal state of the quantum computer, which is also exponentially large.” What’s Next in Computing? Exploring the Possibilities
