We should assume that each computing node has massively parallel DSP chips and gigabytes (even terabytes) of local ram. It would be a good idea to keep in mind that additional nodes will be added as soon as they roll off the production line. Plan for nodes with faster processors and ram to be added as quickly as they can be manufactured and added to the network.
Now what do we do? Today is a good time to start, as these items will be the infrastructure necessary to keep the masses entertained, and scientists and engineers educated and productive.
