An application is 80% computation intensive and takes up 60% of a computer's capacity (both CPU and 1/0). Assume that this application will demand 20% more resources each year as it is updated; the computer's processing power increases by 20% per year; and the computer's 1/0 performance increases by 5%. How will the situation develop over the next five years in terms of processing power and 1/0 usage?
