Calculating the Potential of Computing Efficiency
Energy Efficiency of Computing: What’s Next? Electronic Design, November 28, 2016 For a long time, processor performance and peak output energy efficiency moved forward together at a rapid clip. The gains started well before 1965, the year Gordon Moore published his first projection. Peak output efficiency doubled about every 1.6 years from the dawn of […]
