title: Single threaded workloads
body: <p>There is some feeling about the CPUs manufactured today does not meet Moores Law anymore, at least for single threaded performance.</p>
  
  <p>I wonder what kind of workloads we have to worry if single threaded performance does not scale.</p>
  
  <p>Breaking a text to lines and pages is a quite serial work, but on the other hand any human readable books or pages are quite finite length and handled by current text processing algorithms. </p>
  
  <p>"Bureaucracy code" (the code that makes new versions of Word feel sluggish over decades despite exponential CPU performance increase) do stagnate either in my opinion (the programmers can't handle abitrary complexity and the large software companies finally joined some battle for performance in mobile computing). </p>
  
  <p>So what kind of algorithms at all would hurt us if single thread performance increase would come to an end?</p>
