On the eve of Hewlett-Packard announced a new initiative called the Machine, in which the company intends to create a computing machine with the new architecture. In particular, HP is going to replace certain types of memory for different purposes versatile array consisting of the memristor (or memristors - resistance of the magnetic flux and charge having hysteresis). The idea sounds pretty interesting and promising, but its implementation may take too much time.
According to John Swenson, the basic elements of computing systems like processor and memory can be changed, while maintaining compatibility with existing software.
Head of Research Unit Dell Jai Menon said that he was more promising view seems memory storage devices with phase change. This technology is the closest to commercial use than systems based memristor.
