The aim of this project is to create a beautiful plot of the evolution of the
computer power.
It should have some photos and look nice.
It should also have predictions for the next decade. Having estimation of the
human brain capacity will be nice.
I simply go to the following websites, find new points and add to the csv files.
https://pages.experts-exchange.com/processing-power-compared
This is a nice source but it is not a xy plot. However it has sources that could
be useful.

This is the bible, I wan't to do something like this but updated and with more
info.

Update of moravec plot but with small added information.

This one is nice because it has a repository on github with the data available.
Maybe I should look for more specific data: gpu, cpu, supercomputer...
The best I find is karlrupp.
I will have to add data from the new gpus. One source is the wikipedia page.
Again karkupp is the best.
top500.org is the website of reference. The best plot for my task is the following:
https://www.top500.org/statistics/perfdevel/
There I can get the values to build a new plot.
The first stage is to collect data. I will prepare csv files with the data, and that way I could update the chart in the future if needed.
I already have a plot with the data and the projections. Now I want to add more data:
- Label some of the points with the name of the computer
- Add name to the scales, peta, hexa...
- Add the computing power of the brain of different animals

This tutorials could be helpful.
