” Consider the structural evolutions of that theme: Stage 1: Hadoop and Big Data By 2008, many companies found themselves at the intersection of “a steep increase in online activity” and “a sharp decline in costs for storage and computing.” Other groups have tested evolutionary algorithms in drug discovery.

Over the years, the performance of the world’s fastest supercomputers have reached teraFLOPS (10 12 FLOPS) in 1997 and petaFLOPS (10 15 FLOPS) in 2008, and the next milestone is exaFLOPS (10 18 FLOPS). You might have noticed that there is a turning point in 2008 where the increase in performance of the 500 th machine slowed down slightly.

There is less appetite for IT engaging in research and discovery and a much greater emphasis on spend efficiency, delivery consistency, operating transparency and economic outcomes. The financial crisis of 2008 exposed a lot of companies as structurally misaligned for the new economic reality.

Revenues plummeted at the end of 2008. These investments made operations a source of competitiveness by lowering costs, increasing efficiency, and making businesses more responsive to customers.

In tight times, businesses rely on efficiency, and IT investments will be expected to create a lot of that efficiency. We need to collect project data efficiently, otherwise our projects will suffer under the weight of data generation (or simply not report it). There’s a lot riding on IT in the current economic climate.

Though supremely efficient at sea, Emma and the even larger ships that followed in her wake became a nightmare.

Microcomputers improved the efficiency of data collection and made it easy to consolidate operational data. Recessions in 2001 (when businesses reigned in unrestrained tech spending) and 2008 (when businesses reigned in all spending) tightened belts and increased operational scrutiny. Ironically, it had the opposite effect.

CPU Utilization and Power Consumption (Source: Blackburn 2008). Server Power Consumption (Source: Intel Labs 2008). Processors and memory consume the most power on the server, followed by the power supply efficiency loss. Unfortunately, this also means that the more the CPU usage correlates to power consumption.

From 2008 to 2013, the Chrome project was based on WebKit, and a growing team of Chrome engineers began to contribute heavily "upstream." This arrangement is, however, maximally efficient in terms of staffing, as it means less expertise is duplicated across teams, requiring fewer engineers.

As a result, management concerns itself with cost minimization and efficiency of expenditure. IT risks are much the same: we may aggressively manage scope or find some efficiency, but by and large these and many other factors will conspire to delay our projects. Robustness is the antithesis of efficiency. It's a guess.

There is an alternative perspective that is far more optimistic : digital companies drive down costs through hyper-efficiency (speed, automation and machine scale) and price transparency. The argument for this invisible efficiency is that economic models have simply failed to change in ways that reflect this phenomenon.

In 2008 or so, when data scientist emerged as a job title, it was widely ridiculed as a nonjob: the thought that people who just worked with data could be scientists, or employ the rigors of their time-honored methods, was literally laughable in many circles. To do so, we borrow metaphors from roles in other industries.
