Closer to a Cure: Combating Alzheimer's With New Compute Technology
The human brain remains a complex mystery. But, if we dare to dream big—and have the proper tools and data to fuel those ambitions—we may one day discover cures for diseases as devastating as Alzheimer's. In Germany, more than 1,000 neuroscientists are using HPE Memory-Driven Computing architecture to help identify patterns within vast collections of data 100x faster than before. Their work aims to identify biomarkers that can predict the early onset of Alzheimer's disease.
