Abstract
One of the most important drivers of technological advancements in microprocessors over the past half century was the continuous decrease in transistor size according to Moore’s law Moore(Electronics 38:114–117, 1965 [1]). It states that the number of transistors per chip will double approximately every two years, which corresponds to an exponential growth.
