We attempt to find the best algorithms possible to simplify problems that would otherwise take an enormously long time to calculate and despite the fact that CPU speeds are drastically increasing as described in Moores Law (double CPU speed every eighteen months), it may take some time yet for us to get a clear view of where were heading; and the question remains: Can we always find an algorithm to solve any type of problems? ... Finally, I would like to conclude that I think the limits of computation are endless. ...

By the year 2012 Intel plans to have the ability to integrate one billion transistors into a chip which will run at a speed of ten gigahertz. ... This means that either consumers of these microprocessors will have to be content with a speed of ten gigahertz, or a new method for making chips will have to be developed. ... As the clock speed and system size increase in synchronous circuit systems, the portion of the system's power budget dedicated to distributing the clock increases dramatically. ... The high speed clock switching all over the chip simultaneously is the largest source of...

These advancements in the long term will have small constraints, but in the short term there're broader constraints and limits. ... Email in the long run will be near a more real time instantaneous speed with the capability of higher memory. ... CD-ROM products have short-term limits as well. ... Within time computer speed will reach their limit, but different computers will be designed for multi-particular purposes. ... These processors can only produce a processor speed of 650 MHz-1 MHz equal 1,000,000 bytes of information/second-. ...

The first thing is the clock speed of the processor. ... The higher the Megahertz rating, the faster the clock speeds. The other factor to consider is the cache speeds. "The general rule of thumb in regards to cache is the bigger the better, although the most important thing to keep in mind is matching the speeds as close as possible to the processor's speed" (Baker, 5) to cut down on processing time wasted due to speed differences. The combination of the processor, the cache and the bus speeds on the motherboard determine how fast your computer rea...

It has long been possible to make machines that looked and moved in human-like ways.3 Machines that could spook and awe the audience - but creating a model of the mind, in that day in time were off limits. However, writers and artists were not bound by the limits of science in exploring extra-human intelligence, and the Jewish myth of the Golem, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, along with that movie and other old ones gave us new ideas for other AI movies, but the point being it gave us new - and troubling - versions of the manufactured humanoid.3 Between these engineers and authors, ...
