with thinking about the scheduler and hardware design.
I will not go into much detail about the new hardware and its scheduler here,
-but I will highlight the most important challenges and tradeoffs. I'll also
+but I will highlight the most important challenges and tradeoffs.
+
+In general, the most important tradeoff seems to be between flexibility and
+everything else (code size, performance, complexity). This flexibility is
+expressed in which instructions are possible, which connections are present, how
+big register files are, etc.
+
+An important reason to be flexible is for programmability. If the hardware is
+regular, making a compiler that produces optimal code gets a lot easier.
+
+Code compression.

+I'll also
spend a few words on the observed merits of hardware/software codesign.
