Most OSes have been geared towards C and Posix at some point and x86 is currently king, but hardware/coprocessors/memory architecture can be very different. Just wait till FPGAs become mainstream :-P. Don't mistake "unix-style-hardware" for portable code ;^) http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/184828-intel-unveils-new-xeon-chip-with-integrated-fpga-touts-20x-performance-boost |
