Very eloquent and insightful post by yosefk. Maybe I shouldn't admit this(as a founder of Adapteva) but I actually learned something very important from his post.:-)
Here's another sharp post by Greg Pfister that also talks about the importance of timing of accelerators.
Here are my BIG unknowns for the next 5 years:
-What road-bumps will there be down to 10nm?
-Will the industry rally around OpenCL or will there be
10 different frameworks?
-How successful will Intel/ARM be in building up fences to keep accelerator companies out of their back yards.
