1. Energy consumption: As computation becomes more complex and requires more data, computational architecture must find ways to minimize energy consumption to reduce costs and make data processing more sustainable.
2. Memory bandwidth: One of the biggest challenges with computational architecture is the bandwidth of the memory system. Computer processors require high bandwidth to reach maximum performance when handling large data sets.
3. Data privacy and security: As computational architecture advances and more data is processed, keeping that data secure becomes more challenging. There is a need for stronger encryption and security measures to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access.
4. Widespread adoption: Even with advances in computational architecture, adoption rates can be slow. A significant challenge for this field is convincing industry and consumers of the technology's potential impact.
5. Complexity and customization: Computational architecture involves blending multiple software and hardware components, creating a product that is both easy to use and customizable for specific applications at the same time is a challenge.
6. Scalability: Computational architecture must be able to scale effectively to handle larger data processing requirements. Management, distribution, and deployment of related computational resources must be considered for scalability.
7. Hardware design: Designing hardware suitable for contemporary computation requires the use of the latest manufacturing techniques, which can be expensive.
8. Standardization: There is a lack of uniformity in design, processes, and equipment-related to computational architecture. Standardization would help to reduce this disparity and ensure a quick and consistent response to hardware and software issues.
