Very eloquent and insightful post by yosefk. Maybe I shouldn't admit this(as a founder of Adapteva) but I actually learned something very important from his post.:-) Here's another sharp post by Greg Pfister that also talks about the importance of timing of accelerators. http://perilsofparallel.blogspot.com/2009/07/why-accelerators-now.html http://perilsofparallel.blogspot.com/2009/07/why-accelerator... Here are my BIG unknowns for the next 5 years: -What road-bumps will there be down to 10nm? -Will the industry rally around OpenCL or will there be 10 different frameworks? -How successful will Intel/ARM be in building up fences to keep accelerator companies out of their back yards.
