Over the last several decades, systems have focused on innovation in the logic and have strayed away from ‘balanced’ machines. As a result, a significant

number of applications have been unable to leverage the additional computational power of the latest generation machines . The machine architectures need to evolve: new systems architectures and innovations require a deep understanding of the applications. Memory will be the ‘cornerstone’ of future innovative systems, which will generate a faster time to solution in a much more energy constrained envelope.
