As the Internet grows to encompass more people and institutions, as pervasive devices connect to the network, and more business is done online, a wealth of information is becoming available in digital form.
Finding the value buried in that data will be an increasingly powerful tool for business and society. Deep computing applies specialized software, advanced mathematics and powerful hardware to this sea of digital data to solve extremely complex problems.
Whether it's helping an airline fix its flight schedule during a snowstorm or searching through genome databases for useful new drug compounds, deep computing projects are tackling problems previously beyond reach.
