Intel's Processing RMS (Recognition, Mining and Synthesis)

Intel believes that the increase in demand for computing will come from processing the massive amounts of information available in the “Era of Tera”. [Dubey 2005] Intel classifies the computation into three categories: [b]Recognition, Mining, and Synthesis, abbreviated as RMS. [/b] -->Recognition is a form of machine learning, where computers examine data and construct mathematical models of that data. Once the computers construct the models, -->Mining searches the web to find instances of that model. -->Synthesis refers to the creation of new models, such as in graphics. Hence, RMS is related to our examination of machine learning, databases, and graphics in Sections 3.2.1 to 3.3.3. The common computing theme of RMS is “multimodal recognition and synthesis over large and complex data sets” [Dubey 2005]. Intel believes RMS will find important applications in medicine, investment, business, gaming, and in the home. Intel’s efforts in Figure 5 show that Berkeley is not alone in trying to organize the new frontier of computation to underlying computation kernels in order to guide architectural research.
