More Moore

System scaling enabled by Moore's scaling is increasingly challenged by the scarcity of resources such as power and interconnect bandwidth. This has become more challenging under the requirements of seamless interaction between big data and instant data (Figure MM-1). Instant data generation requires ultra-low-power devices with an “always-on” feature at the same time with high-performance devices that can generate the data instantly. Big data requires abundant computing, communication bandwidth, and memory resources to generate the service and information that clients need.
