One of the early slides claims "No Moore’s Law for Software" but that's absolutely not true, see for example this slide deck from 2004: http://www.lanl.gov/conf

One of the early slides claims "No Moore’s Law for Software" but that's absolutely not true, see for example this slide deck from 2004: http://www.lanl.gov/conferences/salishan/salishan2004/womble.pdf http://www.lanl.gov/conferences/salishan/salishan2004/womble... and from 2010: """ Here is just one example, provided by Professor Martin Grötschel of Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum für Informationstechnik Berlin. Grötschel, an expert in optimization, observes that a benchmark production planning model solved using linear programming would have taken 82 years to solve in 1988, using the computers and the linear programming algorithms of the day. Fifteen years later – in 2003 – this same model could be solved in roughly 1 minute, an improvement by a factor of roughly 43 million. Of this, a factor of roughly 1,000 was due to increased processor speed, whereas a factor of roughly 43,000 was due to improvements in algorithms! """
