Are Computing Fabrics really “in sight”?
When is a new era of technology within sight? Technologies often first enter into classified “black” projects long before the public even gets a whiff of them. Then they enter unclassified military usage, then on into academic research, on into the high-end of the commercial marketplace, and only after many years do they enter the mainstream. At which point are they “near us”, “within sight”, or “upon us”? The intelligence community would say the next era is upon us while many in education are nowhere near client/server! The technologies of Computing Fabrics have been and continue to be proven and are also being scaled. Within two years they will be implemented with mass-market microprocessors.
