Re: Is this Dr Frank I've been hearing about?

yes, that's Dr. Frank. He claims to be the one that developed single-level store, and hence the AS-400.

Our systems guy sent this out to all programmers here:


CHIP SPEEDS CAN'T KEEP UP
"In the past, a programmer could count on the speed of the processors to continually increase. If the application didn't perform as well as it should, it was a simple matter to upgrade the hardware to a faster processor. This approach doesn't work any more. Processor speeds are no longer increasing rapidly.Much of the effort will come back to the 
way in which programmers design their applications."

-- Frank Soltis, iSeries chief architect, as quoted by Techworld

<half kidding>
Does this mean we will actually have to start taking performance into account when programming, and not just whether the job gets done?
