Moore’s Law is one of those miracles of modern life that we all take for granted, like grocery stores and dentistry with anesthesia. For 50 years now, computer processors have been doubling their performance per dollar per square centimeter every 1-2 years. This exponential trend has taken us from the ENIAC’s 500 flops (floating point operations per second) to around 54 petaflops for the most powerful supercomputer today, the Tianhe-2. That’s about a ten trillion fold improvement, in well under a century. That’s incredible by anyone’s reckoning. This achievement has been happening so reliably, for so long, that it’s become...
