Computer Trends
LAN: 10X BW / link / 4-5 years
Internet: Data Centers = new Internet backbone
DRAM: 2X size / chip / 3 years, = latency, > BW
Larger % chips, % power, % $ of systems
Flash: Threat to (small) disks?
Disk: 2X size / disk / 3 years , = latency, > BW
CPU: 2X cores / chip / 2 years,
≤ clock rate, = power
Cell phone/Laptop and Datacenter: Ends of

What if IT goes from a
growth industry to a
replacement industry?
If SW can’t effectively use
8, 16, 32, ... cores per chip
⇒ SW no faster on new computer
⇒ Only buy if computer wears out
Accelerate trend to SaaS?

 Building sized computers: Google, MS, …
 “The Laptop/Handheld is the Computer”
 2007: HP sales laptops > desktops
 1B+ Cell phones/yr, increasing in function
 Apple iPhone raises the bar for

Editor's Notes

  • #22: From 1966 annually named after Alan Mathison Turing, a British mathematician who is &amp;quot;frequently credited for being the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence&amp;quot; Along with $250,000
  • #23: 1938 – Received his Ph.D. from Princeton 1954 – Died of cyanide poisoning Often considered to be the father of modern computer science Turing Test Turing Machine Church-Turing Thesis Worked at Bletchley Park during WWII Said to have taught himself to read in three weeks At age 14, rode a bike 60 miles to attend his first day at Sherborne School Was gay during a time when it was illegal, many believe this led to his security clearance being revoked, and possibly his death
