 Order of magnitude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
More precisely, the order of magnitude of a number can be defined in terms of the common logarithm, usually as the integer part of the logarithm, obtained by truncation.
An order of magnitude is an approximate position on a logarithmic scale.
An order of magnitude estimate of a variable whose precise value is unknown is an estimate rounded to the nearest power of ten.

 Orders of Magnitude, Chapter 3
Jet Propulsion During the 1930s, aircraft speeds of 300350 MPH represented the norm and designers were already thinking about planes able to fly at 400450 MPH.
In the meantime, high speed combat maneuvers brought additional reports of control loss due to turbulence and, in several cases, crashes involving planes whose tails had wrenched loose in a dive.
There was general agreement that the wings would be thinner than normal in order to delay the formation of shock waves.

And they can imagine (as perhaps laymen cannot) the orders of magnitude of distance and time that measure our universe.
That is because they understand the orders of magnitude involved.
When we consider these orders of magnitude of both space and time, we can see why scientists have no interest in putting people in space, have no interest in a Mars colony or a Moon colony, knowing that this is a dead end.

 Faster than the Speed of Light?
The speed of a bullet (300-900 m/sec) is no big deal in these days of supersonic aircraft and spacecraft.
This is because the speed of light is simply a measure of two properties of the medium of space, or the vacuum, permeability and permittivity.
It has been tacitly assumed by some theoreticians that the speed of light might be a measure not only of the electrical properties of space, but also the mechanical properties of space as well.

 Tensilica's V6 Automation Tools Speed SOC Design by Several Orders of Magnitude
The new V6 suite includes a fully pipeline-accurate instruction set simulator (ISS), which provides the clock-cycle accuracy of RTL hardware simulation while running two or three orders of magnitude faster.
It provides the accuracy of a Verilog or VHDL simulation but at speeds two or more orders of magnitude faster than RTL simulation.
The XPRES Compiler can generate ISA optimizations for (and thus speed performance of) frequently executed code blocks—such as inner loops—and complex blocks including highly branched code that is almost never optimized because of its complexity.

For example, EVE was able to verify a one million-gate application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) at 25KHz –– almost three orders of magnitude speed improvement over a simulation-based approach.
The graphics design, which consisted of 32x32-bit RISC processors, was emulated by ZeBu and interfaced via ModelSim® to a video RAM model described in the e verification language, the emerging IEEE standard verification language.
ZeBu is a hardware-assisted verification platform used to accelerate the verification process of ASIC and field programmable gate array (FPGA) designs and the software development cycle for embedded software designs.

 Tensilica's V6 Automation Tools Speed SOC Design by Several Orders of Magnitude Business Wire - Find Articles
Tensilica(R), Inc. today announced its V6 suite of automation tools, which significantly speed the design of major blocks in system-on-chip (SOC) design, making it easier and faster to design SOCs with configurable processors than with custom logic.
Using the V6 development tools, a design team with an existing algorithm coded in C or C++ could develop a customized Xtensa(R) LX processor in a day, whereas a typical RTL (register-transfer-level) design cycle usually requires six to nine months.
While this level of modeling is fine for the customary control functions usually assigned to processors on SOCs, it isn't sufficiently accurate for situations where the processor is used to implement high-performance tasks usually implemented with dedicated, hardwired logic.

 EVE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
“ We believe that designers now have a compelling reason to adopt our design validation technology since they will be able to speed up the verification cycle by three orders of magnitude compared to existing technologies, and still enjoy full visibility into the design at run-time, ” said Luc Burgun, CEO and president of EVE.
Built on a PCI board, ZeBu introduces a breakthrough and proprietary Reconfigurable Test Bench (RTB) that interfaces any type of software test bench to a design-under-test emulated into 2 Virtex II XC2V6000 augmented by 128 MBit of SRAM memory, thus supporting a capacity of more than 1M ASIC gates.
That’s about three orders of magnitude speed improvement, setting an unprecedented increase in design verification productivity.

 20 Years of Missed Opportunities
Twenty years of technology has made computers faster and cheaper by several orders of magnitude.
And until about five years ago, the need for more computing speed was paramount.
Speeds of 10 GHz and 100 GHz will matter, because those open up new possibilities for what computers can do.
