The importance of (exponentially more) computing power

Denizens of Silicon Valley have called Moore’s Law “the most important graph in human history,”
and economists have found that Moore’s Law-powered I.T. revolution has been one of the most
important sources of national productivity growth. But data substantiating these claims tend to either
be abstracted — for example by examining spending on I.T., rather than I.T. itself — or anecdotal.
In this paper, we assemble direct quantitative evidence of the impact that computing power has had
on five domains: two computing bellwethers (Chess and Go), and three economically important
applications (weather prediction, protein folding, and oil exploration).
