I’m not saying it’s the best big thing, but NoC(Network on Chip) seems really interesting. Essentially the computing units(CPU, GPU) and resources(memory, I/O devices) form a grid. They communicate with each other by exchanging packets. Each node can route packets forward toward its destination. So you’ve got routing algos and all that good stuff. The supposed benefit of this is the flexibility and capacity to adapt to different work loads.
