[net.arch] New Topics for Discussion

dollas@uiucdcsb.Uiuc.ARPA (09/09/85)

   With the understanding that the notesfile is for the general discussion
of computer architectures I propose that in addition to whatever is discussed 
so far we introduce one or more topic(s), in which people with experience
will write (and argue about) their views to the benefit of all of us. The
topics I had in mind are:
        General Purpose vs. Dedicated Architectures:
                      * Usefulness, speed tradeoffs, architectural 
                        considerations, etc.
        Centralized vs Distributed Architectures:
                      * Usefullness, speed tradeoffs, reliability,
                        overhead, etc.
   Other topics would be just as interesting, maybe more. If there is 
sufficient interest let's start posting our views.
