Whatever your ultimate goals are, the best way to get motion on it is to start with something simple that can be done in some reasonable span of time and provide some useful functionality. So long as the design is left open to more ambitious possibilities, you're golden. Don't hamstring the design, but don't create so many burdensome requirements that the job never gets off the ground.

And the ability to increase the speed by making a task running on one server perhaps in a single tasking environment but the benefits of multitasking where you need it perhaps on the support of the critical speed task. Multi tasking servers proving a realtime interface to an extremely fast single tasking single process single machine running without even perhaps an operating system. The operating system would be perhaps a support task on a different machine. > > I hope this makes sense.................. >
