      We read a lot about "Brute-force" of SuperComputers ... "Gigabytes, Terabytes, Petabytes ... bla-bla..."

      I would like to fine to read a good article about "Smart" / "unorthodox approach" computing.

      Any links?

      Thanks,

      IBM, please Look Closely in the cracks of BigData !
