I find study interesting not only in its result but also in its methodology of several intense workshops combined with general discussions at national conferences |
Exotic technologies such as "DNA Computing" and Quantum Computing do not seem relevant on this timescale |
Note clock speeds will NOT improve much in the future but density of chips will continue to improve at roughly the current exponential rate over next 10-20 years |
Superconducting technology is currently seriously limited by no appropriate memory technology that matches factor of 100-1000 faster CPU processing |
Current project views software as perhaps the hardest problem |
