BufferedInputStream's Default Buffer Size Compared to Moore's Law
2nd in a series of posts about java.io.BufferedInputStream's Default Buffer Size
BufferedInputStream Default Buffer Size Series: Previous | Next
We can see that Java's BufferedInputStream (BIS) default buffer size has grown over time. I thought it would be interesting to compare it against other metrics in Computer Science, the most famous of which is Moore's Law, which I compared with BIS in the first post. The second time around, I have the data points from describing the capacity of hard disks sold during the years since Java's debut.
Finally, below, the data points from Wikipedia's List of device bit rates were used to compare the BIS size with the speed of storage bus speeds.
A pattern is emerging. And this will be covered in my next blog entry.
