The phrase "exponential pace" is correct and can be used in written English.
It is usually used to emphasize that something is happening very rapidly or quickly. For example, "As technology continues to evolve, the rate of change is increasing at an exponential pace."
"This is an area where things will happen at an exponential pace," he said.
In that sense Mr. Carmack has profited simply from Moore's Law, which predicted that computing power would keep expanding at an exponential pace.
"There is no Library of Congress for astronomy," Dr. Szalay says, and as long as the data continue to accumulate at an exponential pace, there will never be one.
It may also signify that Microsoft, which until now has been one of the principal beneficiaries of Moore's Law -- the observation about the exponential pace of change in the chip industry -- could find that it has become the principal victim.
The world around us has changed at an exponential pace.
Their exponential pace of improvement is the surest bet you can make today.
As biological data accumulate at larger scales and increase at exponential paces, thanks principally to higher-throughput and lower-cost DNA sequencing technologies, the number of biological databases that have been developed to manage such data deluge is growing at ever-faster rates.
The nebulous bogeyman of "Next" is the field of genetic research, which, in Crichton's view, is driven not by scientific goals but by the financial ambitions of private firms and universities and the egos of professors, and is progressing at an exponential rate that regulatory legislation cannot keep pace with.
For Kurzweil, the crux of the singularity is that the pace of technology is increasing at a super-fast, exponential rate.
Protein sequence data, although on a slower growth curve than genomic data, nonetheless increase at an exponential rate (Fig. A1), doubling roughly every 2 years, for now just keeping pace with Moore's law for computational power.
The story's dramatic gears turn smoothly as the plot proceeds in 24-hour instalments – one day per episode - bringing pace and exponential tension to its interlocking themes.
