Vitalik Buterin Predict End of Traditional Computing in Blog
The post Vitalik Buterin Predict End of Traditional Computing in Blog appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Vitalik Buterin is one of the biggest names in the crypto ecosystem, and his blogs are among the most-read tech documents of the past decade. He has written some groundbreaking stuff in his blogs, including the Ethereum White Paper in 2013, Introducing the world to smart contracts in his 2014 blog, and describing the limits to Blockchain scalability in his 2017 article. Now, in his latest blog, Vitalik introduced us to a new concept: the “glue and coprocessor” architecture. This approach could mark the end of conventional computing methods, bringing us into an era of better efficiency and security, all within a developer-friendly system. Glue and coprocessor architectures:https://t.co/7CwdzKR0ix — vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) September 2, 2024 The ‘Glue and Coprocessor’ Architecture Through his blog, Vitalik outlines his vision of dividing computational tasks into two distinct components: the “glue” and the “coprocessor.” The glue component is designed for general tasks and prioritizes flexibility and ease of use. However, Vitalik acknowledged that it may not be the most efficient way to go about it. While the coprocessor component is specialized for specific, intensive tasks, delivering high efficiency where it matters most. The reasoning on first principles is simple: why do we need high processing power for general tasks? The key lies in setting the priorities right, which admittedly could be a difficult task on its own. The separation of priorities in glue and processor allows for the optimization of both parts of the computing process: general and high priority. The glue handles broader, less intensive operations, while the coprocessor takes on the heavy lifting with highly optimized, efficient code. In many ways, this concept of prioritizing is nothing new. This kind of architecture is already being applied in areas like Ethereum’s own virtual machine (EVM), many AI systems, and programmable cryptography. However, the implication…
