Parkinson's Law of Data Parkinson's Law of Data"Data expands to fill the space available for storage"; buyingmore memory encourages the use of more memory-intensivetechniques. It has been observed over the last 10 years thatthe memory usage of evolving systems tends to double roughlyonce every 18 months. Fortunately, memory density availablefor constant dollars also tends to double about once every 12months (see Moore's Law); unfortunately, the laws of physicsguarantee that the latter cannot continue indefinitely. |
