Shenae Bradley, Senior Program Assistant Project Information Publication  | The Future of Computing Performance: Game Over or Next Level? explores the causes and implications of the slowdown in the historically dramatic exponential growth in computing performance and the end of the dominance of the single microprocessor in computing. The report observes that the era of sequential computing must give way to a new era in which parallelism is at the forefront. The report concludes that important scientific and engineering challenges lie ahead and makes recommendations for research, practice, and education. | Samples of Media Coverage
