Shownotes for Axel Kloth

Axel is a physicist by training, and he is used to the need for large-scale compute. Axel, discovered over 30 years ago that scalability of processor performance was paramount for solving any computational problem. That necessitated a new paradigm in computer architecture. At Parimics, SSRLabs and Axiado he was able to show that new thinking was needed, and what novel practical solutions could look like. He is now repeating that approach with Abacus Semi.

On today Show we Talk about:

What is an Application Programming Interface, an API for short?

Why do we need API’s?

Are there legal issues on use and modification of APIs?               

If you are in school right now, studying Computer Science, what would you learn and why?

Where will industry have the most problems in the years to come?

What would be an ideal API?

What are the Pros and Cons of API’s?
