Big data in semiconductors—how to collect, detect, and act
Big data, defined as an all-encompassing term for any collection of data sets so large or complex that it becomes difficult to process using traditional data processing applications, continues to be a major topic in virtually every business segment. While big data solutions have gained a foothold in retail, sales, and financial organizations over the past 10 years, there are other industries, like semiconductor manufacturing, that stand to reap significant gains from extreme analytic solutions that can mine these enormous sources of data.
