The Path to Successful Wafer-Scale Integration: The Cerebras Story
G. Lauterbach
Abstract
There has been an impressive increase in single-chip processing power since the Intel 4004 was launched in 1971. This is usually attributed to Moore's law, but there are additional factors to consider. In understanding the components of prior improvements, we can gain insight into the potential for future improvements and potential limits to scaling.
