This problem is particularly acute for computers, which have seen massive increases in speed and memory.
Such a dual storage system combines the advantages of higher speed flash memory with lower storage cost hard disk drives.
The director, Shohei Imamura, treats the bombing itself with telling poetic concision, as a series of awful tableaux flashing before us with the speed of memory.
Double the speed of a chip, and a thousand entrepreneurs are instantly figuring out how to use the speed or memory bonanza to write cooler software.
It's that doublings of speed and memory always get soaked up into new software, which, in turn, is cleverly used by young entrepreneurs trying to change the world.
We have a much better understanding of the dynamics of the atmosphere, more observations from towers, balloons and radar, and faster computers with much more processing speed and memory.
For example, one day we might be able to design apps that allow people to probe their own cognitive abilities (processing speed, memory, decision-making, etc.) at any time during the day and track these abilities over the years, transmitting the results from their smartphones to a health care provider if desired.
To call it a big jump would be an understatement: compared to the 8800M, the flagship 8970M chip doubles the stream processors to 1, 280, hikes the clock speed from 725MHz to 850MHz and bumps the memory speed slightly to 1.2GHz.

Consumers always want twice the speed, twice the memory, twice the features and at half the price.
The NAND type of memory sacrifices speed for compactness and a low price.
Especially confusing, says Gazzaley, is that key brain functions, like short-term memory, processing speed, and the capacity to multi-task, decline steadily as we age.
When computer memory and processor speed goes up the BLS assumes that the price of the computer goes down because you are getting a better machine even if that computer is still used for browsing on the internet and the machine that it replaced was perfectly fine for the job.
Tests using spatial relationships, speed of processing, and working memory aim to measure it.

The average road warrior wants a laptop loaded with megabytes of memory, a high-speed processor, a vivid color screen, a modem, a CD-ROM player, and plenty of disk space.
But for information that needs to be stored and retrieved fast, flash memory offers businesses far greater retrieval speed at a much lower cost.
FORBES: Pure Storage To Grab $20 Billion Storage Market With Flash
And was immediately reminded that, after all, the computing experience is influenced by a wide range of technical factors, such as serial bus and memory configuration, rather than processor speed alone.
In that trial, about 2, 800 elderly participants showed improved memory, reasoning and visual processing speed after playing an earlier version of the Double Decision game, said Dr. Wolinsky, who also worked on that earlier research.
In addition, a recent effort is under way to make use of the many PCIe-based interfaces that are developing as a consequence of the high speed data transfers that are possible using flash memory and future non-volatile memory devices.
STEC's systems help compensate for the weaknesses of flash memory chips, namely the lack of speed and reliability.
The camera is compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards including the new Ultra High Speed (UHS-I) cards.
