Ian Foster : [[ A useful metric for the rate of technological change is the average period during which speed or capacity doubles or, more or less equivalently, halves in price. For storage, networks, and computing power, these periods are around 12, 9, and 18 months, respectively. The different time constants associated with these three exponentials have significant implications. ]] http://www.gridcomputingplanet.com/opinions/article.php/1008821 I suspect the implications for folks working with triples is : nippy algorithms needed :-) Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com
