Disagree. GPU. Vector computing. Ex: SSL is faster.
- lumpypua 11y agoThose are proof Moore's law is dying. We're stuck eeking out more work per transistor with specialized approaches because we can't just throw more transistors at the problem.
- leereeves 11y agoParallel computing became important recently because even though transistor density was still increasing, heat issues forced the division of CPUs into multiple cores. Parallel computing was required to use all the transistors. With the end of Moore's law, we won't get more performance with that approach either.
- setra 11y agoWhile what he said was a bad argument, on a related note GPUs have continued to show good performance increases.
- CyberDildonics 11y agoWhat do you think a GPU is? They are the ones benefiting the most from more transistors.
- ascorbic 11y agoIs there any situation now where SSL is a bottleneck?
