I am interested in knowing the impact of fast networks on the 
architecture and organisation of (futuristic?) computer systems.
I would appreciate if you can tell me about any references that 
deal with this or related topics, or anyone looking into similar
areas.
	Uptil now networks and computer architecture have evolved
independently. Part of the reason has been the separation between
the I/O architecture and the CPU/MEMORY system. However, since 
networks are so common nowdays, it is hard to believe that they 
need not have any impact on the architecture of a machine.
	I would appreciate any leads. Thanks,
