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 ...
