#dennard — Public Fediverse posts

The #IT industry is staring down #Moore and #Dennard; we are playing chicken with these immovable physical laws. That is reckless, at best.

The "modern miracle" #multicore is but a temporary fix, not a permanent solution. Indeed, most modern programmes are still stubbornly sequential, blithely letting those additional cores sit idle, sip power, and seep heat.

Meanwhile, coders continue to dish out AI-generated JavaScript and Python, with no mechanical sympathy for the von Neumann machine beneath. AI is no panacea; it is but statistics—which dates back to Pascal's days and even earlier—performed by "multicore".

This "if it ain't broke" trend cannot continue, for "it is broke"—now.
