Furthermore, at the timescales (nanoseconds) and distances (meters to thousands of kilometers) at which a distributed application operates, relativity is a much better approximation to reality than the intuitive Newtonian physics. If 3D chip designs let us take a couple racks of hardware into a few centimeters, then perhaps there will be a more Newtonian "now" possible, but it seems that once we can do that we'll just want to build even bigger systems that can analyze more data, and get back to distributed systems again. |
