Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it leads to the inefficiency and high energy consumption of current general-purpose processors in processing big data applications.
Further explanation, on the one hand, the complex calculation pipeline of modern high-performance processors is too redundant for character operations; on the other hand, data needs to go through a long transmission path (including on-chip network, all levels of Cache, etc.), while big data applications focus more on data handling, which further results in low efficiency and high energy consumption of big data application processing
To sum up, using a high-performance processor with a complex pipeline to process large data character operations with simple calculations but a huge amount of data will result in low processing efficiency and waste a lot of power consumption
