LogP was based mostly on experiences in analyzing and working with parallel machines in the 1990s, best summarized in Culler, Singh, and Gupta's book "Parallel Computer Architecture: A Hardware/Software Approach". The model was based upon lessons learned from trying to build fast message layers for those machines. The influence was mostly aimed at the software layers of those machines, which led to Active Messages, U-Net, and related low-overhead messaging layers; less influential upon architectures, I would think.
