The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

In 2005, in “ What is Web 2.0? ,” I made the case that the companies that had survived the dotcom bust had all in one way or another become experts at “harnessing collective intelligence.” Yet many of the most pressing risks are economic , embedded in the financial aims of the companies that control and manage AI systems and services.

It's amazing to recall that it was even possible to virtualize x86 before processors had hardware-assisted virtualization (Intel VT-x and AMD-V), which were added in 2005 and 2006. AWS EC2 uses a different image type and boot process for PV and HVM, as described on the [Linux AMI Virtualization Types] page.

Technocracy was, too: "best practice" was derived from people performing narrowly defined tasks in rigid processes that yielded poor quality products at a high cost. Microcomputing was expected to change information processing patterns of businesses, enabling better analysis and decision support at lower levels of the organization.
