Abstract:
"The electrical efficiency of computation has doubled roughly every year
 and a half for more than six decades, a pace of change comparable to
 that for computer performance and electrical efficiency in
 the microprocessor era. These efficiency improvements enabled
 the creation of laptops, smart phones, wireless sensors, and other mobile
 computing devices, with many more such innovations yet to come.
 The Web Extra appendix outlines the data and methods used in this study."
