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.
