The Problem of Scale

• Big Systems do not scale from small

• Must design differently

  • Root causes: system complexity, physics
  • Human body, telephone system, internet
  • No single points of failure
  • End-to-end checking, judicious redundancy
  • Overall system “understands” user’s intent

• Where is this point?

• Will uP’s hit it? Have they already?
