PROGRAM TRADING AI



In 2006 at the London Stock
Exchange, over 40% of all
orders were entered by
algo traders, with 60%
predicted for 2007
Half of all financial
transactions in the world
and 80% in the USA.
$30 billion per year in R&D

Google sees search as essentially a basic form
of artificial intelligence.
A year ago, Google executives said the
company had achieved just 5% of its complete
vision of search.
Google's search engine will eventually have to
know what people are thinking, how to
interpret language, even the way users' brains
operate.

BLUE BRAIN

Currently they have
simulated one column
of a neocortex (of a rat)
with 10,000 neurons and
30 million synapses
using a 22.8 teraflop
supercomputer.

(A human neocortex
column has 60,000
neurons)

DWAVE


DWAVE adiabatic quantum
computers could reach 512 to
1000 qubits and performance
superior to classical
computers in 2008
Successful development of
quantum computers would
accelerate the development
of molecular nanotechnology
with superior molecular
simulation and modeling.

NEXT 10 YEARS….



Teraflop+ class smartphones
that are constantly charged
with gigabit+ connections
seems likely.
Network to quantum
computers and
supercomputers of all types
for remote processing.
Nvidia Tesla multi-teraflop
GPGPU's and AMDs GPGPU
