Samsung 850 Pro: The solution to Moore’s Law ending.

During the last few years, the semiconductor industry has been having a harder and harder time miniaturizing transistors with the latest problem being Intel’s delayed roll-out of its new 14 nm process. The best way to confirm this slowdown in progress of computing power is to try to run your current programs on a 6-year-old computer. You will likely have few problems since computers have not sped up greatly during the past 6 years. If you had tried this experiment a decade ago you would have found a 6-year-old computer to be close to useless as Intel and others were able to get much greater gains per year in performance than they are getting today.

Many are unaware of this problem as improvements in software and the current trend to have software rely on specialized GPUs instead of CPUs has made this slowdown in performance gains less evident to the end user. (The more specialized a chip is, the faster it runs.) But despite such workarounds, people are already changing their habits such as upgrading their personal computers less often. Recently people upgraded their ancient Windows XP machines only because Microsoft forced them to by discontinuing support for the still popular Windows XP operating system. (Windows XP was the second most popular desktop operating system in the world the day after Microsoft ended all support for it. At that point it was a 12-year-old operating system.)

It would be unlikely that AIs would become as smart as us by 2029 as Ray Kurzweil has predicted if we depended on Moore’s Law to create the hardware for AIs to run on. But all is not lost. Previously, electromechanical technology gave way to relays, then to vacuum tubes, then to solid-state transistors, and finally to today’s integrated circuits. One possibility for the sixth paradigm to provide exponential growth of computing has been to go from 2D integrated circuits to 3D integrated circuits. There have been small incremental steps in this direction, for example Intel introduced 3D tri-gate transistors with its first 22 nm chips in 2012. While these chips were slightly taller than the previous generation, performance gains were not great from this technology. (Intel is simply making its transistors taller and thinner. They are not stacking such transistors on top of each other.)

But quietly this year, 3D technology has finally taken off. The recently released Samsung 850 Pro which uses 42 nm flash memory is competitive with competing products that use 19 nm flash memory. Considering that, for a regular flat chip, 42 nm memory is (42 × 42) / (19 × 19) = 4.9 times as big and therefore 4.9 times less productive to work with, how did Samsung pull this off? They used their new 3D V-NAND architecture, which stacks 32 cell layers on top of one another. It wouldn’t be that hard for them to go from 32 layers to 64 then to 128, etc. Expect flash drives to have greater capacity than hard drives in a couple years! (Hard drives are running into their own form of an end of Moore’s Law situation.) Note that by using 42 nm flash memory instead of 19 nm flash memory, Samsung is able to use bigger cells that can handle more read and write cycles.

Samsung is not the only one with this 3D idea. For example, Intel has announced that it will be producing its own 32-layer 3D NAND chips in 2015. And 3D integrated circuits are, of course, not the only potential solution to the end of Moore’s Law. For example, Google is getting into the quantum computer business which is another possible solution. But there is a huge difference between a theoretical solution that is being tested in a lab somewhere and something that you can buy on Amazon today.

Finally, to give you an idea of how fast things are progressing, a couple months ago Samsung’s best technology was based on 24-layer 3D MLC chips and now Samsung has already announced that it is mass producing 32-layer 3D TLC chips that hold 50% more data per cell than the 32-layer 3D MLC chips currently used in the Samsung 850 Pro.

The Singularity is near!

CORRECTLY FORESEEING?

3

Let us stop the guesswork to make decisions by ignoramuses of supine ignorance, beginning with the elitist “…intellectuals…”, specially those postdoctorals from the Ivy-league and Oxbridge.

You do not make (throughput to output) decisions to be instituted in the past, but in the Continual Present, whose Continuum is hugely connected to the Future.

A MAGNIFICENT CATALONIAN TECHNOLOGIST, ASPIRING TO A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEMENT WITH LOCKHEED MARTIN, CROWNED HERSELF WITH THE THRONE OF MOST-ABJECT SIMPLETONNESS BY CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT UNDERSTANDING THE LUCID WORKS OF AND BY MR. ALVIN TOFFLER, RAND CORPORATION’S MR. HERMAN KHAN (DR. STRANGELOVES) AND ROYAL DUTCH SHELL’S MR. PIERRE WHACK.

Excellent, one fool less, who eats octopuses, a wonderful animal with one (1) brain and nine (9) sub-brains, sacredly studied by U.S. Navies Researchers.

WHAT DO LUMINARIES SAY OF UTILITY HAVE TO SAY HERE?

ALSO #1 of #16:

Napoleon Bonaparte, to this end, asserted, “…I have only one counsel for you ― be master [.…] No longer it is question simply of education, NOW IT BECOMES A MATTER OF ACQUIRING [HARD] SCIENCE …” Brackets are of the author.

ALSO #2 of #16:

Dr. Carl Sagan, PhD.: “…We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows about science and technology…”

ALSO #3 of #16:

Prof. Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, PhD., “… We live in a high-tech age with archaic guesswork guiding life and death decisions …”

ALSO #4 of #15:

“… Change is hard, failure is much harder, and would you rather be sick or would you rather be dead?…” By Harvard Business School professor Clay Christensen Ph.D.

ALSO #5 of #16:

In a June 2012 feature, Jeff Bezos told the Wall Street Journal:

“ … We humans have become so technologically sophisticated that in certain ways we’re dangerous to ourselves. It’s going to be increasingly important over time for humanity to take a longer-term view of its future …”

ALSO #6 of #16:

Jacob Bronowski advised, “ … We are a scientific civilization .… that means a civilization in which knowledge and its integrity are crucial. Science is only a Latin word for [organized] knowledge .… knowledge is our destiny …”

OTHER STUPIDS:

(1.-) Science is Organized Knowledge.

(2.-) Wisdom is Organized Life.

ALSO #7 of #17:

Professor Stephen Hawking warned: ” … Mankind must colonize other planets to survive [….] THE LONG-TERM SURVIVAL OF THE HUMAN RACE IS AT RISK AS LONG AS IT IS CONFINED TO A SINGLE PLANET [.…] SOONER OR LATER, DISASTERS SUCH AS AN ASTEROID COLLISION OR NUCLEAR WAR COULD WIPE US ALL OUT. BUT ONCE WE SPREAD OUT INTO SPACE AND ESTABLISH INDEPENDENT COLONIES, OUR FUTURE SHOULD BE SAFE [….] There isn’t anywhere like the Earth in the solar system, so we would have to go to another star …”

ALSO #8 of #16:

Albert Einstein observed, “ … It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity …”

ALSO #9 of #16:

Cambridge University’ Sir Martin Rees, Ph.D. (British Astronomer Royal) noticed, “ … Science is emphatically not, as some have claimed, approaching its end; it is surging ahead at an accelerating rate. We are still flummoxed about the bedrock nature of physical reality, and the complexities of life, the brain, and the cosmos. New discoveries, illuminating all these mysteries, will engender benign applications; but will also pose NEW ETHICAL DILEMMAS AND BRING NEW HAZARDS …. BUT THERE IS A DARK SIDE: NEW SCIENCE CAN HAVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES; IT EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS TO PERPETRATE ACTS OF MEGATERROR; EVEN INNOCENT ERRORS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. THE ‘DOWNSIDE’ FROM TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY TECHNOLOGY COULD BE GRAVER AND MORE INTRACTABLE THAN THE THREAT OF NUCLEAR DEVASTATION THAT WE HAVE FACED FOR DECADES. AND HUMAN-INDUCED PRESSURES ON THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT MAY ENGENDER HIGHER RISKS THAT THE AGE-OLD HAZARDS OF EARTHQUAKES, ERUPTIONS, AND ASTEROID IMPACTS …”

ALSO #10 of #16:

Charles, Prince of Whales, observed: “ … The strategic threats posed by global environment and development problems are the most complex, interwoven and potentially devastating of all the challenges to our security. Scientists …. do not fully understand the consequences of our many-faceted assault on the interwoven fabric of atmosphere, water, land and life in all its biological diversity. Things could turn out to be worse than the current scientific best guess. IN MILITARY AFFAIRS, POLICY HAS LONG BEEN BASED ON THE DICTUM THAT WE SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE WORST CASE. WHY SHOULD IT BE SO DIFFERENT WHEN THE SECURITY IS THAT OF THE PLANET AND OUR LONG-TERM FUTURE? …” [229]

ALSO #11 of #16:

Prof. Daniel Berleant Ph.D. observes, “… Will we destroy ourselves in a matter of years, decades, or centuries, or will we last indefinitely? Many people see our increasing power over nature, coupled with self-destructive tendencies, leading us to destroy ourselves [.…]Perhaps we will transcend both technology-enabled self-destruction and normal evolution …”

ALSO #12 of #16:

And a Sephardi Hebrew, gave me an Arab adage that argues,

“… The one who foretells the future correctly, lies even if he is telling the truth …”

ALSO #13 of #16:

However, as a counterpoint Lockheed Martin argues:

“… What’s impossible today won’t be tomorrow …”

ALSO #14 of #16:

Subsequently, the hugely-ignored Chinese proverb indicates,

“…Don’t look at the waves but the currents underneath…”

ALSO #15 of #16:

Nevertheless, the Panchatantra (body of Eastern philosophical knowledge) establishes,

“… Knowledge is the true organ of sight, not the eyes … ”

ALSO #16 of #16:

And Antonio Machado argues,

“… An eye is not an eye because you see it; an eye is an eye because it sees you …”

N.B.: IT IS ARGUED IN MY LINKEDIN PROFILE MY GARGANTUANEST INCLINATION IN WOMB-TO-THINKING THROUGH THE OMNISCIENCE PERSPECTIVE.

ABSOLUTE END.
