Millicomputing: The Coolest CPUs and the Flashiest Storage
Adrian Cockcroft, Director, Web Engineering, Netflix
Date: Friday, March 14
Time: 11:30 - 11:45 AM
Location: Grand Hall
This talk looks at the raw performance and capacity of what we have in
our mobile devices today and pulls together published information from
silicon vendors to look a few years into the future. A Millicomputer
uses less than one watt, i.e. milli-watts. See
http://www.millicomputing.com for updates and more info. So a mobile
Millicomputer fits in your pocket without burning your leg!
Today you probably use a 600MHz ARM CPU with 128MB RAM and 8GB of
storage. We are looking forward to multi-core ARM CPUs running at over
1GHz, with high end 3D graphics and video support, and four to eight
times the RAM and storage. We will also see Intel continue to work its
way down into this space with the same 64bit CPU architecture as your
desktop, and ever decreasing power consumption. There are also several
alternatives to Flash memory under development, with higher speeds,
higher density and lower power.
