美国工程科学院院士、加州柏克莱大学工学院前院长、上海交大校友葛守仁教授,上次来沪时,曾畅谈国际上信息技术(information technology)与制造技术(manufacturing technology)的发展变革和它们的重要性。特摘采其谈话精华,介绍给广大读者。信息技术的深入发展信息技术的内容对多数电子工程师已有所了解,但尚有不少重要疑难问题,有待于今后几十年不断努力深入研究。这些问题可以分成两类:第一类是硬件;第二类是系统结构和软件。一般地说,信息处理的硬 Academician of the American Academy of Engineering Sciences, former Dean of the College of Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and Professor Ge Shouren, a Shanghai Jiao Tong University alumnus, had talked about the development and transformation of information technology and manufacturing technology in the world when they last came to Shanghai. The importance of Special extract of the essence of his talk, introduced to a wide range of readers. The in-depth development of information technology The content of information technology has been known to most electronic engineers, but there are still many important problems that need to be continuously studied in depth in the next few decades. These problems can be divided into two categories: the first is hardware; the second is system architecture and software. In general, information processing is hard
