Question

It has been said that since the development of the Intel 4004 in 1971 (which had under 2,500 transistors), a doubling of computer power has occurred approximately every 18 to 24 months (Moore’s Law); in fact, some say that this trend has accelerated, and has affected not only CPU power but have extended this beyond Gordon Moore’s original observation and applied the same curve to disk storage and memory. Today, the number of transistors on new CPU’s is over one billion, allowing much more complex hardware design. Reflect on this, and answer the following questions about the impact of Moore’s Law over the past 45 years:

How has it affected the capabilities of application systems?
How has it affected the longevity of application systems?
How has it affected system development techniques?
Are there other areas where Moore’s Law has had an effect on the SDLC?
If we reach the “end” of Moore’s Law, as has been recently postulated, what does that mean?

Explanation / Answer

1) The number of components in integrated circuits doubled every year.

2) Their is an increase in computing power.

3) By implementing moores law it has a wide growth in cloud computing and social media also.

4) This is low in cost.

5) Internet of things, means it is a technology for communication between two electonic devices is obtained wth this moores law.
