This is only 13 years from now. I really doubt that people will need 16 EiB by then in a single processor for a single process. Plus by that point you will probably have moved to message passing between distributed systems or something.



My prediction is what we'll mostly see more of the same, with existing trends continuing.

Ie more mobile, and more parallelism on the server side.

But yeah, no 16 EiB on a single processor.

(Though we might see people memory map crazy amounts, without ever actually accessing all of them, of course.)
