Abstract
IBM Watson may be best known for competing on the US quiz
show Jeopardy, but the technology goes far beyond simple
questions and answers. Watson is an entirely new form of
computing, one that promises to discover hitherto undiscovered
insights based on the wealth of data all around us. While
traditional computer models have relied on rigid mathematic
principles, utilising software built upon rules and logic, Watson
instead relies on what IBM is calling cognitive computing.
Watson was the named after IBMs first CEO.
What is IBM Watson?
Watson is a customized computer system designed by IBM
researchers to deliver a single, precise answer to question
posed in natural language. Following its tradition of grand
challenges, IBM will pit watson against human player on
jeopardy! to test this scientific achievements and refine its
potential application in the field of science, fiance,
healthcare, and industry.

Hardware
Hardware
 Watson made up of a cluster of ninety IBM Power 750 servers
with a 2880 Power 7 processors cores and 16 terabytes of
RAM.
 Watson can process 500 gigabytes, the equivalent of a million
books, per second.
 Watsons hardware cost at about $3 million and with 80
TeraFlops would be placed on 94th on the top 500
supercomputer list,and 49th on the top 50 supercomputer list.
 The content was stored in watsons RAM for the game
because data stored on hard drives are too slow to access
data.
Software
 Suse linux enterprise server
 Apache UIMA
 IBMs DeepQa s/w
 Java, c++, prolog
Significance
 Analyses the huge amount of data.
 Understand human language and meaning at
massive scale.
 Generates evidence based hypothesis.
 Learns from the responses.
 Extended corpus.
Achievements
 In 2001 winning first place prize of $1 million from
jeopardy! game show.
 The film studio 20th century Fox is called IBM
Watson,the supercomputer, to create the triler for a
movie AI horror/thriller,Morgan.
 The Watson supercomputer in an effort to recommend
treatment for lung cancer.
