JesshopeAmsterdam Amsterdam University Pressc20061 online resource (24 p.)Description based upon print version of record.90-5629-451-2 Includes bibliographical references.This lecture will explore the challenges of working in an exponentially changing world from the perspective of a computer engineer and architect. The benefits and problems associated with exponential change in computer systems will be illustrated by also exploring current events that follow the exactly the same trends. The challenges of introducing concurrency into our computer chips is the main topic of the lecture but both the growth of technology and our use of oil have been significant events in our society, appearing to be discontinuous but in fact following a predictable and challenging TechnologySocial aspectsComputer engineeringElectronic books.TechnologySocial aspects.Computer engineering.605Jesshope C.
