next seven years[10]. The goal of Moonshot is to personalize treatments and to find new treatments for varioustypes of cancer. Big data plays a tremendous role in this. Biden's biggest concern is finding away to most effectively analyze the mass amounts of data that is currently being held in tissuebanks, patient registries, electronic medical records and many other databases across the globe[11]. Over the next seven years there should be tremendous progress made in big data analyticsas a result of Moonshot's research and funding.Memorial Sloan Kettering has implemented IBM’s big data program, Watson Health.

Efficient scheduling is, however, a complicated task. Software tools areoften used in high-level synthesis to schedule a design specification. Since high-levelsynthesis is not yet widely accepted as a method of design entry, most students do notappreciate the significance of scheduling to the tradeoffs of system-level digital
