Abstract

Since 1945 we have been following the basic Princeton architecture created by John von Neumann. Now that we have evolved the components of the systems. From the CPU, with overclocking, multi-thread, multi-core, and more. To the memory bus where we have come from EDO to DDR to DDR5 to HBM and now CXL. Lastly the storage architecture. From punch cards, tape, floppies, HDD the size of small office buildings, and then the advent of Flash. We have been locked into this dichotomy of what to do with data. Where to store, where to act, where to protect.

Now we need to step back, look at what has evolved and focus on the next evolution. Compute IN, not next to, Storage and Memory. A step toward following Amdahl’s law is the next progression and where Computational X comes into play. Learn more as we walk through the evolution of compute from the other side of the CPU.
