There's an even bigger revolution in CPU design, with Ivan Sutherland's Fleet - which does away with the clock and sequential execution of instructions - instead, the programming model is based on messaging and traffic control - you direct signals to the units in the chip which perform the computations you want, asynchronously by default - if you need synchronicity, you need to program your own models for it. While these probably won't be available in the next 5 years, and probably won't be acknowledged by existing programmers for decades - I think these ideas will take over. http://arc.cecs.pdx.edu/publications http://arc.cecs.pdx.edu/publications https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR9pAaQlVRc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR9pAaQlVRc
