It’s not everyday the national news media envisions computing research. But it happened on Sunday, when New York Times‘ writer John Markoff penned a story about the future of computer architecture — picking up on a paper presented at the International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA 2011) earlier this year that forecast a 24-fold gap from the expectations of Moore’s Law by the year 2024 and concluded, “Regardless of chip organization and topology, multicore scaling is power limited to a degree not widely appreciated by the computing community.” Markoff writes: For decades, the power of computers has grown at a staggering rate as designers have managed to squeeze ever more and ever […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.
