Hardware trends
As of ~2003, we stopped seeing increases in CPU clock rateMoore’s law has not been repealed!
•
Giving us more cores per chip ratherthan faster cores
•
Maybe even slower cores
Chart at right shows clock speedof Intel CPU releases over time
•
Exponential increase until 2003
•
No increase since 2003
Result: many more programmersbecome concurrent programmers(maybe reluctantly)
