Software Architecture

If you're building a significant portion of the software architecture for your AI project, then nothing is more important to the speed of a program than its architecture. I mean, look at AI. The whole architecture is a massive fail, endlessly bloated with far too many weights and a brute-force algorithm. Sadly, that's the best we've come up with so far, but there's a lot of research about these architectural issues that will probably solve it.

Anyway, as a professional C++ programmer, it's not difficult to choose a better architecture for your AI project. Fortunately, the best software architecture in the world is well-known to everyone, and is clearly this one:

Object-oriented objects (OOO)
Client-server
Server-client
Message passing
Thin client
Gamification
Virtualization with Vectorization
Model-View-Controller (MVC)
UI-Application-Database (3-level)
Event-Driven Architecture (EDA)
#include "beer.h"
Clouds
Fog computing
Postel's law
RTFM
Microservices architecture
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
RESTful API architecture
Intelligent Autonomous Agent (IAA)
Intentional virality
Goto considered helpful

Actually, sorry, that wasn't the best architecture in the world; it was just a tribute.
