> I'm probably missing something, but isn't that just brought by the usual performance improvements between CPU generations? Load balancing arbitrary computation is definitely a software problem as well as hardware. This is basically the halting problem on an industrial scale—you divvy up work without being able to understand it until it's done. At this scale, I'm also betting there is nearly infinite room to move computation around the data center and a lot of room to save money computing the same number of tasks on fewer cpus.
