Hans Moravec's Chart Updated by donbot
Here is the chart updated to place humans at 1 million times the computing power represented in the original Moravec graph.
It is difficult for the human mind to project what this means. If today's computers which can certainly beat the human at a game of
chess and at most video games were to be improved by a factor of 1 million, certainly it seems reasonable to expect that it could
accomplish more difficult tasks such as button a shirt or distinguish the difference between a dog and a cat.
So, what do you think?
I have moved the human to a higher level but left the monkey way behind the human. Am I correct in doing this? I am not sure.
DARPA wants quintillion-speed computers
Researchers at DARPA announced a program in June 2010 aimed at building computers that exceed current peta-scale computers
to achieve the speed of one quintillion (10^18) calculations per second. If the chart above is correct, then the goal is to make a
computer which is 1000 times the speed and functionality of the human brain.
DARPA has dubbed these as extreme scale computing, and states that such machines are needed to "meet the relentlessly
increasing demands for greater performance, higher energy efficiency, ease of programmability, system dependability and
security."
