Wonderful EE Times cover story on computing efficiency trends and their implications
Bruce Rayner at Electrical Engineering Times did a great writeup on our work on trends in computing efficiency in their June 21, 2011 issue. It’s a cover story.
Rayner uses our work as backdrop to tell the story of five key technologies that will have a huge impact on environmental issues in coming years. Here’s his list:
1) The transistor: Going 3-D
2) Solid state lighting: Dramatic energy savings from LEDs
3) Energy harvesting: Catalyst for wireless sensor nets
4) Superconducting cable: Smart grid enabler
5) Silicon carbide: Boosting energy savings in thousands of apps
All of these are important and potentially game changing in various applications. Can you think of some others?
