Assessing Future Computing Needs: A Compelling Series
Friend and colleague Peter Glaskowsky, who’s held a diversity of Silicon Valley positions over the years and who I’ve mentioned several times before, is a senior systems architect at Intel as of the beginning of this week. One of the ’side’ jobs he tackled while seeking full-time employment was author of CNET’s Speeds And Feeds blog, and Peter wrapped up his work there with a five-part writeup series which I commend to your attention even if you’re not doing ‘pure’ computer designs:
Some of Peter’s prose seemingly has a portable-centric slant, but what computer (whether battery- or AC-powered) is power consumption-insensitive nowadays? Similarly, as you can tell from the above listed writeup themes, many of the points Peter raises are equally applicable to other system designs, both embedded- and consumer-focused.
