Do you think that the "difference in kind" should be frozen in application source code?
I agree that latency needs to be carefully controlled. But the software engineering can be complex!
- mgummelt 7y agoOften, yes. Parameterization adds complexity, so for interactions I know must always be colocated, it makes sense to hard code the provisioning of a local actor.
- ProfHewitt 7y agoGood luck finding all the places that various kinds of colocation have been hard-coded, e.g., same core, nearby core, same chip, same package, same rack, same datacenter, etc.
