IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, today announced the release of the 2017 edition of the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS), building upon 15 years of projecting technology needs for evolving the semiconductor and computer industries. The IRDS is an IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Industry Connections (IC) Program sponsored by the IEEE Rebooting Computing (IEEE RC) Initiative, which has taken a lead in building a comprehensive view of the devices, components, systems, architecture, and software that comprise the global computing ecosystem.

According to Paolo A. Gargini, IEEE and Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP) Fellow, and Chairman of IRDS, "Over the past decade the structure and requirements of the electronics industry have evolved well beyond the semiconductor's industry requirements. In line with the changes in the new electronics ecosystem, the 2017 IRDS has integrated system requirements with device requirements and identified some new powerful solutions that will support and revolutionize the electronics industry for the next 15 years."

According to William Tonti, IEEE Fellow and IEEE Future Directions Sr. Director, "The IRDS presents an end-to-end continuum of computing as requirements evolve into multiple platforms."

  The 2017 edition, huh?

  Good to know they publish quickly.

    Another couple years, and they'll have to adjoin a dictionary to explain to people what a "Roadmap" is.
    And people will look at that book and ask what the point of dictionary is.
    (except Uber, who will be trying to save money by enabling self-driving cars that read the map data alone, because it's quick and disruptive, unlike that unreliable lidar junk)

  I'm sure that these fine fellows are all fine Fellows but that really sounds like MBA speak to me, lol.

    No MBAs. They would actually have business case hints.

    This sounds like marketing speak, or public relations.

    Any time I see an article so full of titles, SR Director, etc (many invented just for this organization) I'm thinking, public relations hand out at some seminar junket. Dudes promoted out of the chain of command to someplace they can't do any harm.

  IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity

  One of the most important things that the IEEE does is make sure that technology standards are only in the hands of the haves, not the have-nots, by keeping these standards behind a paywall and charging hundreds of dollars per document.

  This roadmap, however, is available at no cost.

    Is there a single person left on this planet who is not walking around with a 1990's vintage supercomputer in their pocket? If you went back to 1990 and told someone that a poor kid in South America would own more computing power than Microsoft, who would have believed you?

      so what? we have more powerful slave trackers? either your standards are too low (stockholm syndrome) or you're just covering for the fact that you are complicit in the enslavement of your fellow man.

      Star Trek existed back then. We knew it would happen, we just didn't know how long it would take to shrink them.
