yeah, i didn't see that image until after. regardless, we can just make a new coin or ltc could modify its protocol so that it becomes more memory hard over time.
I'm not sure we'd want that. I think down the road this kind of architecture will drive regular PCs as well as embedded DSPs.
Because once you start using a sufficient number of cores that architecture becomes an necessity not a feature.
They might even start removing external memory altogether, since once memory becomes sufficiently large the bandwidth required to write to all of it becomes a serious bottleneck. The 2022 version would have 16 GB core ram, I'd say that is sufficient for a desktop even by then. This isn't really a problem at this scale yet, but once go even a magnitude higher it becomes one.
Hard-disks are already at this state where reliable data storage requires double or triple redundancy because the probability of another drive failure starts to matter during the mirroring process.
