if you didn't know, HP has started inventing a light-based computer using memristors instead of an SSD and it moves 6TB of data/sec, it's based on a continuum and uses very little power. so we have a paradigm shift here... should be out at end of decade. they showed it at vegas, and are planning on putting it in cell phones. it has multiple light processors. they need devs to make an OS for this since it's memristors (storage) are essentially NVRAM with a delay on writes (takes time to switch and the change is analog).
