==Notable Tendencies==

A very notable approach that potentially breaks the structural limits of conventional processing architectures is called [[Configurable_ComputingReconfigurable_Computing|Configurable Computing]]. Here the compiler creates code suitable for runtime reconfigurable [[FPGA|Field Programmable Gate Arrays]] in which during the scope of an [[OOP|Object]] the configurable logic represents the calculations to be performed. Since all Objects can potentially perform in parallel on [[Streaming_Data|streaming data]] this is the ultimate [[Parallel_processor|parallel processing architecture]]. (See http://www.jhdl.org/)

Configurable computing could be categorized under [[Computing_in_Memory|Computing in Memory]] which is inspired by the function of the neuronal brain, where the processor and the memory eventually can not be distinguished from each other.
