Next Generation Computing

Data processing today is done almost exclusively by computers, which are designed according to the Von Neumann principle. However, the von Neumann architecture is not perfect. In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, marked by explosive growth of data, traditional computers are starting to show their limits. Even the most advanced computers still struggle to solve complex problems such as weather forecasting and molecular structure calculations, and their excessive power consumption is also a problem. A completely different concept of computing has been studied to overcome the limits of conventional computers. Quantum computers and brain-inspired neuromorphic computers are some of the notable examples of new computing.

In the midst of the dramatic changes that signal the emergence of future computing systems, we are looking for answers to numerous questions including: Will future quantum computers need cryogenic memory? Will the massive data produced by Qubit operations require high-capacity and high-bandwidth memory? Will neuromorphic computers, which store and compute data in the same device, still need a separate memory device? Are there any areas where memory technology can help advance neuromorphic technology?

SK hynix is closely monitoring these new computing technologies from a memory manufacturer's point of view. We are exploring such innovative technologies and are looking for partners to share this journey with. As we continue this journey, we will update the contents in the future!
