Question 27 5 / 5 pts Within the scope of this exam, make a non-trivial exam "descriptive" question on your own and answer it. This is to show your knowledge, not covered in the problems below. Your Answer: Define Moore's Law and Give some limitations. Moore's Law : Moore's law states that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles every 2 years, though the cost of computer is halved. Limitations : 1: Moore's law depends on shrinking of the transistors and here the law of physics intervene. Electron tunneling prevents the length of a gate - the part of a transistor that turns the flow of electrons on or off from being smaller than 5nm. 2: Smaller transistors will extract heat resulting malfunctions. https://umkc.instructure.com/courses/65270/quizzes/64176 14/16 05/05/2021 2021 Spring CC Exam2 (4/8 1pm) (Remotely Proctored): Computer Science 5525 0001 Cloud Computing Question 28 1 / 1 pts Self-assessment.
