Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Co has unveiled a new computer prototype that it claims could handle more data than any similar system in the world. The California-based firm said the prototype contains 160 terabytes of memory, capable of managing the information from every book in the U.S. Library of Congress five times over. It is the latest prototype from'The Machine' research project by HPE, which aims to create super-fast computers by designing them around memory.
