DARPA’s 1000X efficient graph analytics processor enables real-time identification of cyber threats, and vastly improved situational awareness

Today large amounts of data is collected from numerous sources, such as social media, sensor feeds (e.g. cameras), and scientific data. There are over 1 billion websites on the world wide web today and the Annual global IP traffic will reach 3.3 ZB per year by 2021, or 278 exabytes (EB) per month. In 2016, the annual run rate for global IP traffic was 1.2 ZB per year, or 96 EB per month. The notion of Big Data emerges from the observation that 90 percent of the data available today has been created in just the past two years. From devices at the edge to large data centers crunching everything from corporate clouds to future energy technology simulations, the world is awash in data – being stored, indexed and accessed, says Intel. The goal of DARPA’s Hierarchical Identify Verify Exploit (HIVE) programme is to explore new and more efficient methods of processing large amounts of complex data.
