Jeopardy! The IBM Challenge
IBM's Watson http://www-943.ibm.com/innovation/us/watson/ will start three consecutive days of Jeopardy! contests, arguably a benchmark of ultimate knowledge, against the show's two most successful and celebrated contestants, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. The showdown starts tonight! http://www.jeopardy.com/news/watson1x7ap4.php
Meet Watson:
* Workload optimized design
* 90 servers
* DeepQA software architecture
* Power7 System
* Advanced text-to-speech capability
"The grand prize for this competition will be $1 million with second place earning $300,000 and third place $200,000. Rutter and Jennings will donate 50 percent of their winnings to charity and IBM will donate 100 percent of its winnings to charity."
"Beyond Jeopardy!, the IBM team is working to deploy this technology across industries such as healthcare, finance and customer service."
It'll blow your socks off! Be there! It's instupituous!

“The POWER7 system is tuned for very rapid deep analytics of massively parallel problems.†Dr. John E. Kelly III, Senior Vice President and Director of IBM Research
"To better understand root causes of cancer and other diseases, Rice University uses workload optimized systems based on POWER7 to deliver a faster approach for shared research computing in real-time.
These systems can provide increased flexibility and efficiency in analysis across a range of problems and can handle high levels of parallel processing of data like genomic sequencing, protein folding and drug modeling. To the researchers at Rice University, it’s not simply a more versatile server; it’s a giant leap towards understanding cancer."
"IBM InfoSphere Warehouse shares common text analytics technology with Watson to help businesses address their analytical needs."
The text-to-speech interface is icing on the digital cake.
