Description: Thought(ful|less) Commentary on Whatever Interests Me.
Just seven (!!) years ago, I wrote a blog post talking about the progress in computing power right around the time that Moore's law appeared to be ending saying that the change in processing power (and processing power/$) from 2001 -> 2012 was unprecedented and probably never going to happen again.
TL;DR 2315x growth in efficiency/power in 10 years FOR LESS COST is pretty great.
Well, we're about 8 years beyond that, and it's... still pretty true! In 2012, top performance was 17 Petaflops/sec, and today, we're at 148 Petaflops , an incredibly modest 8.7x increase over 8 years. Boo hoo.
