The End of Moore's Law in Detail and Starting a New Golden Age | NextBigFuture.com

John Hennessy talked about the end of Moore’s Law and the start of a new golden age. He described the specifics of how general computer chips from Intel and others were sped up over decades. Speed came from scaling, parallelism and multiple cores. John sees the immediate future of faster computing coming from domain-specific languages and architectures. He sees this being able to provide on the order of 63,000 times faster speeds. Beyond that we will use nanotechnology, quantum computers and other approaches. He was speaking at a DARPA meeting. DARPA is funding the exploration of technology and approaches beyond
