The reach of the modern enterprise relies on the power of information technology (IT) tools such as sensors, databases, and machine learning. But tool improvements must be fueled by increased computing power (e.g., faster hardware) or getting more productivity from existing systems (e.g., through better computer algorithms). New research has uncovered that this second source, algorithm progress, is more important than previously realized—sometimes orders of magnitude more important than hardware—and thus could be an important technological stepping‐stone to give competitive advantage to a country's firms. Analyzing this “Algorithm Commons” reveals that the United States has been the largest contributor to algorithm progress, with universities and large private labs (e.g., IBM) leading the way, but that U.S. leadership has faded in recent decades.

构建算法共性:谁发现了现代企业中支撑计算的算法?

现代企业的影响力取决于信息技术(IT)工具的功能,例如传感器,数据库和机器学习。但是,必须通过提高计算能力(例如,更快的硬件)或从现有系统中获得更高的生产率(例如,通过更好的计算机算法)来推动工具的改进。新研究发现,算法进步的第二个来源比以前意识到的要重要得多(有时比硬件要重要几个数量级),因此可能成为赋予国家公司竞争优势的重要技术垫脚石。分析此“算法公地”可以发现,美国一直是算法进步的最大贡献者,大学和大型私人实验室(例如IBM)处于领先地位,但是美国
