Cloud computing is catching up and leading to innovations. Intel, the world top processor maker has come out with a new single-chip cloud computer(SCC) which would pack processors in a full data centre into a single chip. It is a full programmable 48-core chip is expected to unleash new range of possibilities in the data computing domain. Instead of packing high=power processors, the chip would put together large number of low-end processors, which in aggregation provide high computing power. The network on the chip allows each core to communicate faster without bandwidth constraints and latency issues. SCC is currently being experimented by its academic and industry partners. Microsoft has built Visual Studio on SCC systems and would have SCC as the basis for a new cloud paradigm.
