I was motivated by a simple goal

• Devise an architecture that scales up: Grow the system without limits*.

This is impossible (without limits?), but...This meant automatic parallelism,

automatic management,

distributed,

fault tolerant,

high performance

• Benefits:

  • long term vision guides research problems
  • simple to state, so attracts colleagues and support
  • Can tell your friends & family what it is that you do ?.

scaleup: 1,000,000 : 1
