1 Vision - A tool to amplify human ability

-

-In short, this is what I want: +

+Makes lots of complex data intuitive to:
+  - explore, understand
+  - manipulate and compute on
+
+by extensively relying on:
+  - realtime 3D graphics with immediate feedback loop
+  - flexible and distributed computation and data storage

    • Many individual connected computers behave as one big -computer. System is horizontally linearly scalable. -
    • -
    • Programming abstraction and execution model that naturally divides -problems te be solved in parallel and result easily combined. -

    • Data is spread across nodes, automatic failover, built in -resiliency. -
    • -
    • Small pieces of code are automatically transferred to the node -that contains relatively big data that needs processing (network -efficiency). -
