Trend I -- Hardware Assisted Tightly Coupled Shared Memory MPP's are replacing pure distributed memory systems
|
|
Trend II -- The World Wide Web and increasing power of individual workstations is making geographically distributed heterogeneous distributed memory systems more attractive
|
|
Trend III -- To confuse the issue, the technology trends in next ten years suggest yet different architecture(s) such as PIM
|
|
Better use Scalable Portable Software with conflicting technology/architecture trends BUT must address latency agenda which isn't clearly portable!
