Scale By The Bay 2019: Bryan Cantrill, Was He Wright All Along? Software After Moore's Law

Actually Moores law is dead. His prediction was not transistors would get smaller. His prediction was initial that for 10 years was that density would double every year. And then later that it would double every 18 month. And this held longer then even he thought. But it has ended. While things still get denser, its no longer on that same trend. This interview with Moore explains it: link History by Cantrill: ▶ this video David Patterson perspective: link Opposing point of view Jim Keller: link Patterson response to Keller: link There are talks by David Patterson, Jim Keller and

Bryan Cantrill has a great talk on this and the end of scaling ▶ this video It really seems like we are going to see new architecture paradigms emerge and start seeing more powerful compute in smaller places.

This year's Cantrill talks include one on Ethical Dilemmas [0] and another on the "Moore's Law" paper [1]. Highly recommend both. [0] link [1] ▶ this video
