Abstraction nanotechnology, parallel systems
- 50-100,000 components is the upper limit on human design
- applies to computers, airplanes, etc.
- To go larger requires subsystems
- Boeing 777 - 50,000 components, but 5,000,000 parts
- Intel 486 had 1M gates, Pentium 3M gates
- each took 300 people 3 years.
- each had similar number of components
