Early in my career my CIO, although not the title at the time, asked "Why would anyone want to connect two LANs together?" He also said "All computers will cost around $100 in about a year and you'll be able to get them at a grocery store."
His deputy report would say it is impossible to conduct commerce over HTTP.
These were relics of the mainframe world, and made these statements before the Internet went commercial. I knew they were absurd and wrong, and…

Mainframe-style channel controllers for modern disaggregated memory systems
Despite the promise of alleviating the main memory bottleneck, and the existence of commercial hardware implementations, techniques for Near-Data Processing have seen relatively little real-world deployment. The idea has received renewed interest with the appearance of disaggregated or "far" memory, for example in the use of CXL memory pools. However, we argue that the lack of a clear OS-centric abstraction of Near-Data Processing is a major barrier to adoption of the technology. Inspired by …

Large Processor Chip Model
Computer System Architecture serves as a crucial bridge between software applications and the underlying hardware, encompassing components like compilers, CPUs, coprocessors, and RTL designs. Its development, from early mainframes to modern domain-specific architectures, has been driven by rising computational demands and advancements in semiconductor technology. However, traditional paradigms in computer system architecture design are confronting significant challenges, including a reliance on…
