« exponential growth ».. No, just no. GPU gains ~30% general performance each year it isn't increasing at a Fast rate, if it is increasing at all.
An exponential function is many order of magnitude off of the reality.
IPC increase are today more significative than clock increase, but most of the computational increases nowadays come from scalability innovations like SPARK.
But it is true that some few specialised ASICS make big leaps.
- bjourne 8y agoA function whose growth is proportional to its size is growing at an exponential rate. 30% per year might not be a doubling every 18 months, but is nothing to sneeze at.
