I missed all of this program except for the very end of Final, Watson's wrong response. I was disappointed we weren't shown Watson's choices and pct's for the Final answer. Martin ID: 1077887 ·

Was Watson made of some 40 servers and main brain made of 15TB ram? Is that 15TB Ram all PCI-card all chip thing? the one Micron showed few years ago. Mandtugai! ID: 1077907 ·

Watson, named for IBM founder Thomas J. Watson, is powered by 10 racks of computer servers running the Linux operating system. ... Watson is the result of years of development by IBM researchers. Like human contestants, it has no recourse to the Internet during play. Rather, it draws upon a huge database of information in its 15-trillion-byte memory, and sifts through potential answers with 2,880 processor cores.

Heck, throw in a few GPU's and it would make a fairly decent cruncher! lol Martin ID: 1077947 ·

That would be more realistic cool robotic logics searching fight within Jeopardy environment. Mandtugai! ID: 1078173 ·
