“Specifically, we need a language to express application logic that enables compilers and language run times to efficiently exploit the capabilities of the plethora of hardware resources emerging across different parts of the hardware stack. At the same time, it would be an an interesting thought experiment to ponder how different would the hardware design of these devices be without the CPU-centrism in POSIX.”
