Software Performance Engineering: Save Us From the End of Moore’s Law? - via @IEEESpectrum @Science

Software Performance Engineering: Save Us From the End of Moore’s Law? - via @IEEESpectrum @Science | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Performance engineering will be riskier than Moore’s Law ever was. Companies may not know the benefits of their efforts until after they’ve invested substantial programmer time. And speed-ups may be sporadic, uneven, and unpredictable. But as we reach the physical limits of microprocessors, focusing on software performance engineering seems like the best option for most programmers to get more out of their computers.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: this is a well known fact, developers are lazy as often the hardware is more powerful than what they need to do the job. But as we reach limits of hardware and as AI improves it seems that we may be able to throw software at the problem and have machine algorithms to improve the performance of systems. The impacts are high, from allowing less powerful hardware to run your app or reducing the cost in high volume applications (think data centers or the billions of internet of things devices).

Fourth Industrial Revolution | Explore | TOPLINK | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents a fundamental change in the way we live, work and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development, enabled by extraordinary technology advances commensurate with those of the first, second and third industrial revolutions. These advances are merging the physical, digital and biological worlds in ways that create both huge promise and potential peril. The speed, breadth and depth of this revolution is forcing us to rethink how countries develop, how organisations create value and even what it means to be human. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is about more than just technology-driven change; it is an opportunity to help everyone, including leaders, policy-makers and people from all income groups and nations, to harness converging technologies in order to create an inclusive, human-centred future. The real opportunity is to look beyond technology, and find ways to give the greatest number of people the ability to positively impact their families, organisations and communities.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: the world economic forum provides a trove of useful data and analysis on topics related to the 4th industrial revolution. It provides useful insight into key digital technologies related to that topics as well.

We have to keep pace with development. IRL 5.0 is on the door step.
