@earltcampbell @skdh I would not have picked "debunk" and "hatchet job", but I think Earl's piece here is calm and reasoned. Thanks, Earl.
As I said in another branch of this thread (we should create one decent summary), a lot of people have looked at the architecture problems in the last 15 years.

@earltcampbell @skdh Sabine, you said you like to read the papers and summarize what you learn (as do I), here are a few names. Most of us have Google Scholar pages or are otherwise easy to find.

@earltcampbell @skdh Me, Simon Devitt, Austin Fowler, Kae Nemoto, Bill Munro, Thaddeus Ladd, later Cody Jones from my own orbit; Ike Chuang, Fred Chong, Mark Oskin, John "Kubi" Kubiatowicz, Krysta Svore, Setso Metodi from another.
All mid-2000s.

@earltcampbell @skdh A few years later, brought in in part by an IARPA program that went bust, Margaret Martonosi and a host of programming language experts.

@earltcampbell @skdh Chris Monroe, in since the beginning of ion trap QC, teamed with Jungsang Kim (whom I later worked with), who brought a focus on scalability.
Daniel Oi, Liang Jiang also wrote papers architecturally similar but with different technical focus to my own multicomputer.

@earltcampbell @skdh Ken Brown has been in for a long time, worked on algos, error correction and compilation in the IARPA program.

@earltcampbell @skdh Joe Fitzsimons, Earl Campbell, Peter Selinger, Michael Biercuk, Martin Roetteler and others worry about programming and control at high and low levels.

@earltcampbell @skdh It's true there are a bunch of people, and experimental physicists are some of the worst, who think *their* problems are the hardest, and everything else will just kind of fall in place, it's all unimportant anyway.

@earltcampbell @skdh Dealing with them drives me nuts.
But there is an entire community of people who have been working the scaling and applications problems for two decades, and the experimentalists and theorists are now getting on board.
Come join us, the water's fine!
