Abstract

A brief history is given of the status and some recent developments in computing technology. Discussion focuses on recent advances in microelectronics, high-performance computing, adaptive/configurable computing, and user-interface hardware and software. Moore's law and the fundamental physical limits of computation are outlined. The emerging paradigms of grid computing, ubiquitous/pervasive computing and autonomic computing are described. Future computing environment and novel non-silicon computing paradigms are outlined.
