We argue that the abstractions between the layers of the computing stack and the components of computing systems, especially the HW/SW interface, have to be rethought to cope with the ever-growing complexity of problem domains and their manifestations in the underlying computing systems. The divide and conquer approach to hardware/software with a minimal interface is unable to cope with complexity. Rethinking the abstractions and interfaces between the application, system, and architecture can lead to significant benefits in improving performance, efficiency, resilience, security, and programmability, at the same time.

重新思考分而治之——迈向计算堆栈的整体接口

我们认为，必须重新考虑计算堆栈层与计算系统组件之间的抽象，尤其是 HW/SW 接口，以应对问题域的日益复杂及其在底层计算系统中的表现。具有最小接口的硬件/软件的分而治之的方法无法应对复杂性。重新思考应用程序、系统和架构之间的抽象和接口可以同时在提高性能、效率、弹性、安全性和可编程性方面带来显着的好处。
