The I/O Paradox
The “we need more data centers for A.I.” fallacy is driven by software
vendors, whose software was built 40 years ago.
Ancient software is I/O wait state intensive.
I/O is input/output.
95% of what a data center does is – WAIT – for an I/O event to take place.
It is the multi-step process in every computer program of fetching pieces
of data, from different places, putting them together, delivering a result.
Data centers are needed because 1980s software is I/O wait state
intensive.
Optimize I/O wait states and you do not need more data centers.
Fractal enables any application to run 1,000 times faster.
If it runs 1,000 times faster, it needs only 1/1000th the hardware.
Thus it needs only 1/1,000th the energy.
So, any application can be moved to Fractal, in a quarter, and it will use
1,000th the power.
Thus, the data center fallacy is exposed.

It needs better architecture. Smaller systems, local intelligence, sovereign futures.

While the tech world hovers between whether A.I. is the biggest bubble since the Holland Tulip Bulbs or a few Tech Bro Billionaires owning the planet, we thought a different point of view would be refreshing. We believe artificial intelligence will diffuse to everyone – or about everyone who wants or needs it – A.I. will be democratized. We believe...
When those county commissioners sold you and your friends on that great big shopping mall in your area, the picture they showed you looked something like this: What they did not foresee, and neither did you – was at the very time investor groups were funding a 2 year mall construction, there was a massive, although subtle technology shift happening....
Who controls the data the government collected from you for a generation? Your insurance company collected data on your driving – so did your Lexus – who owns that data? You told your doctor about controlled substances you used – and now it gets brought up in an interview. If you can’t exclude someone from using your data, then you...
Just when Elon Musk announces he is building the world’s largest supercomputer – solving mankind’s most vexing problems, Apple delivers a supercomputer literally THOUSANDS of times more powerful, requires no water to cool (Elon’s Colossus needs lakes) and runs on batteries – (Elon’s uses more power than a big chunk of Memphis). Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook said in the Jan...
If you are following the A.I. story, peeking through the hype is the realization A.I. is not paying off – is not close to paying off – 95% of the projects are a loss. MIT says 95%: https://www.axios.com/2025/08/21/ai-wall-street-big-tech Cost constraints are choking A.I. development. Some wags say build more data centers and eventually costs will fall. Those would be the...
Does quantum compute have a future, at stratospheric valuations, if 95% of all business applications can run today, at quantum speed, on current hardware? That is the quantum bet. The quantum bet, now underlying a trillion dollars of investment – is that current computers cannot be made to run faster. And speed is everything, particularly for A.I. But, what if...
The entire tech world is locked in a race to deliver new, currently impossible computing outcomes. The race is between speed – quantum speeds – versus size – massive data centers – so large they are measured in acres, not square feet. The quantum speed team knows speed always wins, so they are designing computers with different physics – delivering...
Exploding data volumes are far beyond the capability of current relational database technology. When data comes into the system at quantum speed, on current hardware – decisioning instantly is possible. That is NOT possible with any current database technology – it is however, something Fractal easily handles. Here is a video on this challenge.
There are two great things about getting old – you know you aren’t going to die young and you have pretty much seen everything before. At least in the technology space, history not only repeats itself, it rhymes, it uses the same words in the same order sung to the same tune. Why do we have data centers? There could...
