| Abstract | The advent of big data era may require a paradigm shift for designing computing systems. The amount of data to be obtained from real world increases exponentially every year, whereas the speed of performance improvements of conventional computing systems is quite slow compared to such rapid grows of big-data applications. So, now it is the time to revisit computer system architecture and its design. The panel discusses the direction of computing platforms in order to satisfy such performance requirements on next generation big-data era. |
