“Algorithmic Progress in Six Domains” Released – Machine Intelligence Research Institute

Today MIRI released a new technical report by visiting researcher Katja Grace called “Algorithmic Progress in Six Domains.” The report summarizes data on algorithmic progress – that is, better performance per fixed amount of computing hardware – in six domains:

  • SAT solvers,
  • Chess and Go programs,
  • Physics simulations,
  • Factoring,
  • Mixed integer programming, and
  • Some forms of machine learning.

Algorithm improvements appear to contribute roughly as much new computing performance per year as new hardware.
