I say that it is reasonable why, because computing power rose and if the trend continues like it has done and it is still as accurate it will rise even more. Does the growth look surprisingly fast or surprisingly slow? I think it’s going surprisingly fast, every 2 years they are doing double of the previous amount of transistors used in integrated circuits. Can you predict when 100 billion, or even one trillion, transistors may fit on a single chip?

The growth of transistors in integrated circuits over the years is right on track with what was predicted in Moore’s Law. Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on integrated circuits would double every two years. Sometimes the number of transistors has doubled in less than two years. I think the growth is reasonable based on what Gordon Moore predicted. If Moore’s Law continues to be the truth then I estimate that around 2022 is when 100 billion transistors will fit on a single chip and around 2028 is when one trillion transistors will fit on a single chip.

...Unit 1 Writing Assignment: Integrated Circuits Integrated circuits are a set of transistors one small plate or chip of semiconductor material. Integrated circuits were used in computers to vacuum tubes in computers. The invention of integrated circuits is credited to both Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce of Fairchild in 1958 and 1959Kilby created the first prototype in 19 58 and it contained only one transistor. Noyce would later create a four transistor and 5 resistor circuit in 1959. In 1965 Gordon Moore spoke about growth trends in computer memory. He made an interesting observation that would later become known today as Moore’s Law. Moore’s Law states that each processor chip would contain twice as much capacity as its predecessor. He also noted that every 18-24 months a new chip containing twice the capacity was released and if this trend continued computing power would grow exponentially in a short time. Even today Moore’s Law continues to hold true today. In 1971 Intel put out a processor that would contain 2,300 transistors in the Intel 4004. In 1972 Intel would follow the 4004 with a 2,500 transistor processor in the 8008. The Intel 8080 would have 4,500 transistors is known as the first microprocessor and would be contained in the first home computer. In 1982 we saw a huge jump from 29,000 in 1979 to 153,000. This was in the Intel 286.The Intel 486 would be the first processor to reach the 1,000,000 transistor range as it has 1,200,000. The 1990’s...

...school success. Academic achievement scores are correlated with school attendance. Students who are not at school cannot receive instruction. Excessive school absence is a precursor of school dropout and is related to juvenile delinquency. And, because average daily attendance rates are a common determiner of school funding, absences mean that schools have less resources to do the job. Given all this, it is not surprising that reducing school absences is a top priority for many schools. (http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu) Now-a-days intelligent automation has stepped its presence in every field all over the world. This project has a stepping in the attendance and power management of the classrooms in the colleges/schools. The use of low cost technologies for highly reliable applications with the help of newly innovated algorithms makes the automation process to reach the consumers at cheaper and reliable cost. (http://www.muxtronics.com) The widespread of embedded computer networks as part of everyday peoples’ lives is leading the current research towards smart environments and Ambient Intelligence (AmI). AmI is a new information paradigm where people are empowered through a digital environment that is “aware” of their presence and context and is sensitive, adaptive and responsive to their needs.

...Christle Comstock June 20, 2013 Unit 1 Assignment 1: Integrated Circuit Technology The table: The processor model and year when two billion transistors were placed on a single processor chip is: Intel is expected to give attendees at the super-techie conference a rundown on Tukwila specs, and on its upcoming low-power Silverthorne processor. The new 65-nanometer Tukwila Itanium processor, which is expected to be released at the end of this year, will run at up to 2 GHz, have dual-integrated memory controllers and use Intel's QuickPath interconnect instead of a front-side bus. The processor also will have 2 billion transistors on one chip, according to Rob Shiveley, a spokesman for Intel. Itanium, which first hit the market in 2001, targets enterprise servers and high-performance computing machines. "The more transistors on a chip, the more work you get out of that chip," said Dean Freeman, an analyst at Gartner Inc. "With one of these new chips, you should get better performance than you would with two chips out of the previous generation." For some perspective, an earlier Itanium processor, Montecito, was built on 90nm technology and held 1.7 billion transistors. And Penryn, Intel's new 45nm chip for the desktop, which it released last November, has 820 million newly designed transistors. Shiveley noted that Tukwila is expected to have double the performance of Montvale, another Itanium processor that was released late last year, while using only 25% more power...
