Us seem to be all the rage these days. At the last Bayesian Valencia meeting,Chris Holmes gave a nice talk on how GPUs could be leveraged for statistical computing. Recently Christian Robert arXived a paper with parallel computing firmly in mind. In two weeks time I’m giving an internal seminar on using GPUs for statistical computing. To start the talk, I wanted a few graphs that show CPU and GPU evolution over the last decade or so. This turned out to be trickier than I expected.
After spending an afternoon searching the internet (mainly Wikipedia), I came up with a few nice plots.
Intel CPU clock speed
CPU clock speed for a single cpu has been fairly static in the last couple of years – hovering around 3.4Ghz. Of course, we shouldn’t fall completely into the Megahertz myth, but one avenue of speed increase has been blocked:
