Since its inception in the 1960s, the wide range of industry professionals have been able to trace a steady trajectory for semiconductors, but given the limitations ahead, it is time to look to a new path\u2014or several forks, to be more accurate.<\/p>\n<p>This realization about the state of computing for the next decade and beyond has spurred action from a subgroup, led by Georgia Tech professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff-directory\/thomas-m-conte\">Tom Conte<\/a> and superconducting electronics researcher, <a href=\"http:\/\/ieeecsc.org\/people\/elie-track\">Elie Track<\/a> called \u201cRebooting Computing,\u201d which produces reports based on invite-only deep dives on a wide range of post-Moore\u2019s Law technologies, many of which were cited <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nextplatform.com\/2016\/10\/12\/disruptive-technologies-post-exascale-horizon\/\">here this week<\/a> via Europe\u2019s effort to pinpoint future post-exascale architectures. The Rebooting Computing effort is opening its doors next week for a wider-reaching, <a href=\"http:\/\/icrc.ieee.org\/\">open forum<\/a> in San Diego to bring together new ideas in novel architectures and modes of computing as well as on the applications and algorithm development fronts.<\/p>\n<p>According to co-chair of the Rebooting Computing effort, Elie Track, a former Yale physicist who has turned his superconducting circuits work toward high efficiency solar cells in his role at startup <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nvizix.com\/nVizix\/Team.html\">Nvizix<\/a>, Moore\u2019s Law is unquestionably dead. \u201cThere is no known technology that can keep packing more density and features into a given space and further, the real issue is power dissipation. We just cannot keep reducing things further; a fresh perspective is needed.\u201d The problem with gaining that view, however, is that for now it means taking a broad, sweeping look across many emerging areas; from quantum and neuromorphic devices, approximate computing, and a wide range of other technologies. \u201cIt might seem frustrating that this is general, but there is no clear way forward yet. What we all agree on is that we need exponential growth in computing engines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nextplatform.com\/2016\/10\/13\/ieee-reboots-scans-future-architectures\/\">http:\/\/www.nextplatform.com\/2016\/10\/13\/ieee-reboots-scans-future-architectures\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there is any organization on the planet that has had a closer view of the coming demise of Moore\u2019s Law, it is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
