Suppose you need to run a program on the world’s fastest supercomputer which will take 10 years to complete. You could: Spend $250M now Program for 9 years, Moore’s law speedup (4,000x faster), spend $1M in 10years, complete in 2 weeks. What is the optimum strategy? Question from "Long Term Storage Trends and You" ...
I want to know why the phenomenon of moore's law exists - why double every 2 years? ...
This was a question in one of my CS textbooks. I am at a loss. I don't see why it necessarily would lead to parallel computing. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction? ...
If Moore's Law holds true, and CPUs/GPUs become increasingly fast, will software (and, by association, you software developers) still push the boundaries to the extent that you still need to optimize your code? Or will a naive factorial solution be good enough for your code (etc)? ...
Hello all, I do not know how many faces this problem. If I do programming in weakly/dynamically typed language like python,php,javascript for few days I lose touch with strongly typed languages like c++,Java,.net. I recently heard languages like python and ruby which people loved programming in. It is very easy programming in weakly/dyn...
