- Research and development in networking and IT and the value of Algorithms:
"...a benchmark production planning model solved using linear programming
would have taken 82 years to solve in 1988, using the computers and the
linear programming algorithms of the day. Fifteen years later, in 2003,
this same model could be solved in roughly 1 minute, an improvement by a
factor of roughly 43 million. Of this, a factor of roughly 1,000 was due to
increased processor speed, whereas a factor of roughly 43,000 was due to
improvements in algorithms!"
