(Research project) Write a report on the prospects for a truly incrementally scalable cluster computer system which can accept faster and faster processors without discarding older ones. The concept is to start with a system with a few state-of-the art processors and add a few newer processors each year. Each subsequent year, the processors available naturally get better. At some point the oldest are discarded, but one keeps adding processors. Hence, the system never gets obsolete, and the older processors left still provide useful service. The key issue is how to design the system architecture to accept faster processors and faster interconnects. Another issue is when to discard older processors. Perform an analysis on the best time to discard processors and interconnects.
