“Moore’s Law Is Really Dead: What Next?” at ACM Turing 50 Celebration

[@VigneshBalasubramaniam]

Cue Jim Keller saying that Moore's Law will continue far into the future. And he's right, it will.

[@isurudaulagala7372]

Jim Keller redefines what Moore's Law is. In academia, the way people define Moore's law is related to density of transistors given a unit die size.

[@blocksurf]

@@isurudaulagala7372 keller’s point is that the upper bounds of density and die size are going to become matters of complex topologies, not grids

I've been a digital designer for 40 years and I remember reading EE Times articles regularly throughout my career saying Moore's law will soon be dead and it never seems to come true. Keller points out today's devices are 600 atoms on a side then quotes Feynman saying there's no reason we can't have 7 atom devices.

This is a great topic to cover. Please post more like this in the future. Excellent!!!

fantastic talk!!1

I see the light at the end of the tunnel: photonic computer ;)

This great. Butler Lampson is so sassy.

51:55 this is why taking too old people on panel is bad, he think as it was, not how it is. Today if someone click on link (I don't mean small websites) and it don't work it would be tragic. He should know that even on hardware level there are errors but they are take care and operations will retry if they occur, same is now with software (websites) if request fail in JS we will retry. Same problems, but this people are too old to see full stuck, they are talking about it, but they are 20-30 years in past.

its not dead the only thing deadss is peoples imaginations intel is still doing amazing even at 14nm so when they decide to start shrinking they still have loads of room to continue also you cant say moores law is dead due to a 15% decrese that decrese was done on purpose if they slowed it down they ultimatley make more money

When the law ends it was not a law.

If you were on TRUE 10 nanometre technology its like a small quantum computer, ppl dont even know what they are talking about I THINK. so I think until ppl have actually really understood what 10 nanometre technology can do, they are just talking rubbish.

Meanwhile, the work of the other Chuck Moore (the inventor of Forth) could solve all those problems. Get rid of the bloated, slow code. Simple.
