The Café in Amsterdam: When the Incumbent Becomes the Oracle

A field can reformulate its computations freely exactly where its demand is stated independently of any incumbent implementation, and finds itself unable to when the incumbent's own output has quietly become the specification. This note offers that observation as a lens on computational reformulation for modern accelerators, where posing a problem in a hardware-friendly form can yield large speed and energy gains, but only if a replacement can be judged at all. Building on the test-oracle…
