Cognitive computing can lead to thoughtful solutions, expert says - The MSP Hub

The most vexing and important issues of the present and the future likely will be solved using the power of supercomputers, a renowned expert says. In fact, supercomputers already are being used to tackle problems in disciplines such as medicine, education, energy exploration and criminal investigation, explained Katharine Frase. That kind of readily available technology, she said, is leading to increased capabilities in policing and other disciplines "in an actionable way." Frase was the keynote speaker Tuesday at SC16, the top international convention showcasing how high-performance computing, networking, storage and analysis are advancing commerce, education, medicine, scientific research, space exploration, weather forecasting and many other disciplines. Frase served as chief technology officer and vice president of public sector at IBM from March 2013 to September 2015.
