Network processing is becoming an increasingly important paradigm as the Internet moves towards an architecture with more complex functionality in the data path.
Together, AND and NOT gates, with unlimited connectivity, theoretically suffice for logic circuit design, but it is advantageous to obtain more complex functionality directly within a single gate.
When the platform launched they were approached by several professional event organisers, who liked the proposition, but suggested they should include more complex functionality.
However, the increasing complexity of power systems has given rise to System Integrity Protection Schemes (SIPS), which use wide area measurements to deliver more complex functionality.
A particular promise of such architectures is service orchestration, i.e. the ability to combine existing services to create more complex functionality, thereby yielding new services.
Since they need no access to resources other than their input parameters in order to perform their tasks, they make for highly reusable building blocks for creating more complex functionality.
This obviously isn't necessary for casual games, but for apps with deeper, more complex functionality, it's nearly impossible to get this kind of face-to-face access to individual users.
Although the IBM team declared their "results open up possibilities of achieving practical graphene technology with more complex functionality," in practice, getting the kind of data processing that goes on in silicon chips requires devising transistor circuits that can turn current on and off digitally.
