Things heard at the GP2 Workshop:
Fred Brooks:
In the days of IBM 7950 (1961), you would program one 250 byte instruction, go for lunch, program one more, and then leave for the day.
Keith Cooper:
In 1980, a compiler could generate code that ran at 85% of peak CPU power (on a VAX). The figure now is 5-15%.
