The Need for Modern Computing Paradigm: Science Applied to Computing

More than hundred years ago the classic physics was in its full power, with just a few unexplained phenomena; which, however, led to a revolution and the development of the 'modern physics'. The outbreak was possible by studying the nature under extreme conditions which finally led to the understanding of the relativistic and quantal behavior. Today, the computing is in a similar position: it is a sound success story, with exponentially growing utilization but, as moving towards extreme utilization conditions, with a growing number of difficulties and unexpected issues which cannot be explained based on the 'classic computing paradigm'. The paper draws the attention that under extreme conditions, computing behavior could differ than the one in the normal conditions, and pinpoints that certain, unnoticed or neglected features enable the explanation of the new phenomena, and the enhancement of some computing features. Moreover, a new modern computing paradigm implementation idea is proposed.
