"Thus, systems builders and datacenter developers must start thinking of the world beyond software and start looking to hardware for solutions. They cannot continue focusing on software running on general-purpose CPUs but must re-orient themselves towards specialized hardware. Due to its scale, any datacenter workload can be considered general-purpose and deserving of its own hardware. We already have hardware for our most compute-intensive tasks (e.g., ML) but hardware offload for all is the only way forward."
