Is it just me or is the illustration of 'graphs' of totally the wrong kind of graphs? I'm sure they don't mean bar charts.

It didn't even dawn on me that that figure was supposed to represent graphs until I read your comment (and then the caption), I had just assumed it was supposed to represent Big Data.

Yeah, they missed including a pie chart and a gantt chart for good measure.

Most of the industry has moved on to Deep Pie Charts.

FYI, they're called 'chicago charts' for those in the know...

Yeah, a bit embarrassing for a magazine that covers technology, HIVE defintely works on graph-theory graphs. Even weirder is the (Source: DARPA) attribution.

Also they say the processor will use "1000 times less energy". Incredibly confused thinking goes into writing a sentence like that.

That would make sense to me.

I had to stop and chuckle when I saw the author put "[John] von Neumann architecture..." when quoting somebody who was simply talking about the industry standard term of "von Neumann architecture".

What's next? "[Alan] Turing machines"?

Its hard to display 2^n dimensions in a graph.
