Computational Demand: Not So Fast
Analytics, Big Data, and smart software. The computer systems today can handle the load. The death of Moore’s Law; that is, the drive to make chips ever more capable is dead. I just learned this. See “Moore’s Law Really Is Dead This Time.” If that is the case, too bad for some computations. With the rise of mobile and the cloud, who worries about doing complex calculations? As it turns out, some researchers do. Navigate to “New Finding May Explain Heat Loss in Fusion Reactors.” Here’s the passage that underscores the need to innovate in computational systems:
