DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sverre Jarp (CERN)\n\nThe computer industry typicall
 y moves forwards in spirals with hardware or software moving from being de
 precated (and even being laughed at) to being the hottest feature imaginab
 le. Think of virtualization as an example. It existed on IBM mainframes al
 ready more than 30 years ago.\nThe speaker will debate whether the "world"
  is interested in spiralling back to multivendor hardware solutions like w
 e had in the 90s with multiple RISC-vendors competing ferociously in the d
 esktop/server space. The Reduced Instruction Sets were typically SPARC (Su
 n)\, Alpha (DEC)\, MIPS (SGI)\, PA-RISC (HP) and POWER (IBM).\nAlthough th
 e speaker has been involved in the field for more than 40 years and can th
 erefore talk well about the past\, he will give no guarantees as to predic
 ting the future!\n\nhttps://agenda.infn.it/event/18564/
