In thinking about how to write a software architecture that won't quickly become obsolescent, I find that I'm thinking increasingly about the hardware on which it will run. ![HAL 9000 - a vision of the hardware of the deep future](https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/2001/images/5/59/Hal_console.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090823025755)In thinking about how to write a software architecture that won't quickly become obsolescent, I find that I'm thinking increasingly about the hardware on which it will run.
In [[Post Scarcity Hardware]] I envisaged a single privileged node which managed main memory. Since then I've come to thing that this is a brittle design which will lead to bottle necks, and that each cons page will be managed by a separate node. So there needs to be a hardware architecture which provides the shortest possible paths between nodes. In [[Post Scarcity Hardware]] I envisaged a single privileged node which managed main memory.
