Abstract

The author argues why we must extend our model of computation to account for cost and location. He explains how advancing semiconductor technology has impacted random-access memory (RAM) and parallel RAM (PRAM) models, explains why communication is the most important cost in computing, and explores the carbon footprint of computation.
