Perfect Disruption:

 Hardware. Many-core architecture that will soon support thousands of threads in a process for widely-used software applications using semantic integration (see below).  Software. Client cloud computing1,2. in which information is permanently stored in servers on the Internet and cached temporarily on clients that range from single chip sensors, handhelds, notebooks, desktops, and entertainment centers to huge data centers. (Even data centers are clients that often cache their information to guard against geographical disaster.) Client cloud computing will provide much needed new capabilities including the following: o maintaining the privacy of client information by storing it on servers encrypted so that it can be decrypted only by using the client’s private key. (The information is unencrypted only when cached on clients.) o providing greater integration of user information obtained from servers of competing vendors without requiring them to interact with each other. o providing better advertising relevance and targeting without exposing client privacy.  Applications. Scalable semantic integration, e.g., integrating the following: o calendars and to do lists o email archives o presence information including physical, psychological and social o documents (including presentations, spread sheets, proposals, job applications, photos, videos, gift lists, memos, purchasing, contracts, articles, etc.) o contacts (including social graphs) o search results o marketing and advertising relevance influenced by the above
