Computer Engineering: Distributed Computing, Quantum Computers, Scalable TCP

The Future Of Tomorrow

How Technology, Medicine, Computers, and Travel Will Change Beyond the 21st Century

As the microprocessor throughput appproaches the speed limitations imposed by fundamental device technology, computational parallelism becomes the most viable alternative for achieving breakthroughs in computing power. Just as hardware advances drive multimedia applications, in turn, also increase the appetite for more computational power. No matter how fast computers become, new applications are found that streth the available resources to the limit. Recent advances in technology are providing faster microprocessors and network communications, reducing power dissipation in electronic systems and producing higher-density, low-cost data storage devices. In turn, these advances are creating a demand for new multi-media applications and interfaces. Continued advaces in computing, communication and storage technologies, combined with the development of a national and global grid system, holds the promise of providing the required capacities and an effective environment for computing and science.
