- software-defined IO; see: software-defined radio, software-defined networking, reconfigurable MIDI interfaces, using VR headsets as monitors, etc. even to some extent, eBPF embodies this idea - hardware that enables probabilistic data structures, whatever that means, for even faster approximate execution of algorithms - memory that executes instructions in place, avoiding data movement latency - differentiability is big right now - differentiable/invertible hardware could be pretty dang cool - state of the art hardware in pretty much any field is pretty much guaranteed to be extremely complex - greater exposure of underlying processes (hopefully in a universal / composable reporting interface) could allow easy + deep/recursive + simple inspection/visibility of hardware as a component of a massive-scale system - extremely high density + speed + reliability + "hook-ability" + expandable storage media - formal verification of data IO at a hardware level - physically unclone-able functions for e.g. encryption, device verification - photonic computation
