Vitalik: The adhesive collaborative processor model will reshape computing in fields such as blockchain, AI, and cryptography

ChainCatcher news, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a new computing model called "glue and coprocessor architecture," aimed at significantly enhancing technical efficiency and security. He detailed the advantages of this architecture in a blog post on September 2, categorizing computing tasks into two types: flexible general "glue" components and efficient dedicated "coprocessors." Vitalik pointed out that this separation allows conventional operations to be handled in adaptive environments, while intensive tasks are completed by dedicated hardware, thus optimizing overall performance. He specifically mentioned that the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and the field of artificial intelligence (AI) could benefit from this, for instance, by improving Ethereum's efficiency through dedicated modules for structured operations and processing complex AI models on GPUs or ASICs by optimizing code. Furthermore, Vitalik believes that the architecture has broad application prospects in cryptography and open-source hardware (such as RISC-V chips), which could enhance security and lower the barriers to entry. His proposal is expected to promote technological innovation, bringing more efficient and secure solutions to the computing field and reducing the entry barriers for small tech companies.
