The Past is Prologue: A New Golden Age for Computer Architecture
Speaker: David Patterson, University of California – Berkeley and Google
In the 1980s, innovations like RISC, superscalar, multilevel caches, speculation, and compiler advances ushered in a Golden Age of computer architecture, when performance increased annually by 60%. The ending of Dennard Scaling and Moore’s Law has stalled this advance; single core performance improved only 3% last year! In addition to poor performance, modern microprocessors have poor security, as Meltdown and Spectre recently demonstrated.
