Moore’s Law

Explore Moore's Law to understand how the doubling of transistors has slowed processor speed improvements, motivating the need for multithreaded programming. This lesson explains why concurrency and multi-core utilization are essential for future software performance gains.

We'll cover the following...

Moore’s Law

In this lesson, we'll cover a high-level overview of Moore's law to present a final motivation to the reader for writing multi-threaded applications and realize that concurrency is inevitable in the future of software.

Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, observed the number of transistors that can be packed into a given unit of space doubles about every two years and in turn the processing power of ...
