A New Computer Class Emerging
Mainframe Minicomputer log (people per computer) Workstation PC Over roughly 50 years, we have seen a series of new classes of computers emerge. Each had its collection of technological drivers – not just a specific breakthrough but a confluence of technological advances. If we were to call out one thing it would be integration. As more capability can be squeezed into a certain size/weight/power – suddenly just when the previous class is at full strength an entirely new kind of system emerges. With it, a whole new class of applications. Purposes for which we didn’t even think computers were good for. What is seldom observed is that each is smaller than the one before, more intimately tied into our lives, and greater in number. Today, all the hype is about internet cell-phones and PDAs. However, you are just about to see a new class emerge. This one will be very different. It will be smaller and more numerous, but instead of keyboards and displays, it will be connected to the physical world. These are devices that we build today off the shelf. This is where we are in the lab. Laptop PDA ??? year From 18 November 2018

CMOS Trends: miniaturization and more
Itanium2 (241M ) nearly a thousand 8086’s would fit in a modern microprocessor Why is this happening? What are the technological drivers. What we always hear about is Moore’s law. Doubling the number of transistors per chip every 2 years. The new itanium2 has 241 million transistors. What is less often noted is that the size and cost of a fixed amount of computing gets smaller at almost the same phenomenal rate. When the PC came out, we actually managed to do some computing on an A thounsand of them would fit in a single itanium today and cost 50c. So we can get complete systems in a small amount of silicon. But those same processes that are making everything smaller and cheaper – soon a million transistors for a dollar – are also making it possible to do other things cheaply. We are seeing CMOS radios on a chip. More radical is mechanical structures, what are called MEMS – microelectrical mechanical systems – here an acceleraometer – on the same chip. So, we can look forward to putting complete systems with processing, storage, communication, and the ability to interact with the physical world in extremely cheap, small packages. - Kris will talk much more about this Actuation LNA mixer PLL baseband filters I SD Q SD Communication Sensing Processing & Storage From 18 November 2018

log (people per computer)
New Role for Computing Number Crunching Data Storage log (people per computer) productivity interactive streaming information to/from physical world So if we look at the computing spectrum today, each of the classes exist simultaneously. In a room we can put 100s of teraflops and many petabytes of computing. Our productivity, document preparation, and personal information management fits in our pocket and a new class is emerging that will provide a means of streaming information to and from the physical world like we have never seen before. year From 18 November 2018
