Abstract

Over the last forty years, Moore's Law has held as a general rule of thumb for the progress made in the Central Processing Unit (CPU) industry. This law has broken down over the last decade as the design of processors using traditional techniques has begun to approach physical limitations. However, despite this set back in the advancement of traditional processing technologies, alternatives have started to present themselves from all corners of industry and academia. Many of these are radical changes to the way processors have been designed and deployed in the past. This paper reviews three promising and contemporary approaches at continuing to increase the performance of tomorrow's CPUs, despite the physical limitations constraining their design today.

Moore's Law: The First Ending and a New Beginning

Moore's law has accurately predicted roughly biennial doubling of component capacity at minimal cost for almost 50 years. Recent flash memory scaling exhibits increased density, but reduced write and read lifetimes effectively constitute an ending of ...
Metcalfe's Law after 40 Years of Ethernet

Critics have declared Metcalfe's law, which states that the value of a network grows as the square of the number of its users, a gross overestimation of the network effect, but nobody has tested the law with real data. Using a generalization of the ...
Establishing Moore's Law

Every field has brief formulas or relationships that are useful for back-of-the-envelopecalculations. Rarely do these maxims become popular knowledge; even more rarely do they become asubiquitous and influential as Moore's law, the 40-year-old ...
