The United States Department of Defense Advanced Program (DARPA) is currently funded the development of a new non von Neumann (non-von-Neumann) processor architecture called hierarchical identification using "(Hierarchical Identify Verify Exploit; HIVE). DARPA plans to invest $80 million within 4 years to build the HIVE processor. Including Intel (Intel) and Qualcomm (Qualcomm) chip manufacturers, as well as national laboratories, universities and defense contractors, North, Grumman have joined the program. The United States Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; PNNL) and the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) responsible for the processor to create software tools, Northrup and Grumman will establish a center of Baltimore, this is known as the world's first use of graphical analysis processor (GAP) implementation of Department of Defense (DoD) task graph analysis. DARPA Micro Systems Technology (MTO) program manager Trung Tran said: "today's computer architecture also uses the 1940s invention of [John] von Neumann architecture. Both CPU and GPU take parallel operations, but each core of it is still a von Neumann processor." "HIVE is not a Von Neumann architecture because it has sparse data and can perform different processes simultaneously in different memory domains," Tran said. This non von Neumann approach allows many processors simultaneously access, each using the local buffer memory, while performing dispersion and work together in the global memory." DARPA believes that Big Data provides to sensor economic indicators, science and environment for the nodes of the graph and the edges of the graph is the relationship between different nodes, such as Amason (Amazon) in the case of "buy" behavior. Based on graph theory analysis can be traced back to the famous philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Leonhard and Euler in the first papers published in 1736: "Konigsberg Seven Bridges" (Seven Bridges of K nigsberg?). Since then, graph theory has developed into a series of algorithms and mathematical structures for modeling the relationships between random data points. The HIVE architecture is designed to identify threats, track disease outbreaks, and solve Big Data problems using these graphical analyses, because these issues are tricky for current traditional CPU and GPU. The four - and - A - year DARPA plan will design chip architectures with Intel and Qualcomm in the first year, while Georgia, Tech and PNNL will be responsible for developing software tools. After the first year, a hardware design and a software tool will be selected. DARPA will provide $50 million in support of the company that wins the hardware design, but the company will also provide $50 million. In addition, DARPA will provide $7 million in support of organizations that win software design. At the same time, Northrup will receive $11 million in funding to build the Baltimore center, investigate all of the DoD's requirements for graphical analysis, and ensure that hardware and software manufacturers meet these requirements. Dhiraj Mallick, vice president of Intel data center, said: "the HIVE project aims at data processing, using graphics analysis processor to play the impact of machine learning and other artificial intelligence (AI)." Mallick chip design will win the confidence of Intel Qualcomm, he said: "Intel has been asked to provide a 16 node platform at the end of the program, using 16 HIVE processor on a circuit board, Intel will also have to provide the right products for the global market." As the project progresses, the HIVE processor will be able to implement real-time identification and perception of strategic assets. In contrast, Mallick said, we still have to rely on "the horse lock the stable post analysis too late"
