Sandia National Laboratories launches push to innovate
next-generation machines
Computing experts at Sandia National Laboratories have
launched an effort to help discover what computers of the future might look
like, from next-generation supercomputers to systems that learn on their own —
new machines that do more while using less energy.
“We think that by combining capabilities in microelectronics
and computer architecture, Sandia can help initiate the jump to the next
technology curve sooner and with less risk,” said Rob Leland, head of Sandia’s
Computing Research Center. Leland recently outlined a major effort into
next-generation computing called Beyond Moore Computing that’s part of Sandia’s
overall work on future computing.
