Five decades after it was first postulated in an article in the April 1965 issue of Electronics Magazine; Moore’s Law may no longer be reliable for predicting the characteristics of future systems. Whether it is the notion of processor price performance doubling every eighteen months or a doubling of circuit density every twenty-four months; fundamental limits in the economical manufacturing of integrated circuits with ever smaller feature sizes may herald a sunset for Moore’s vision.
As a result; applications must be designed to exploit parallelism rather than as serialized processes that can be rescued by improved processor speed. This session will explore questions that may redefine the practice of performance and capacity planning over future decades.-H. Pat Artis-Performance Associates
