Preliminary architecture screening

HMI Boundary Assessment

Check whether the current architecture still has practical headroom—and which requirement is most likely to cross the line first.

Select the architecture used by the product being assessed—not the architecture you are considering next.

01Display

Pixel load, display count and color depth affect memory size and bandwidth.

02UI

Screen structure and visual behavior determine how much of the system becomes a graphics workload.

03Performance

Use the worst screen and peak data condition, not the average demo.

04System

Connectivity and platform services can move complexity outside the GUI itself.

05Product

Boot, maintenance and lifetime can make an apparently powerful architecture a poor product fit.

No project data is submitted by this V1 prototype.
How the V1 rule-based assessment works

Each answer adds load to one or more risk dimensions: Display, Memory, Rendering, Connectivity and Boot-Lifecycle. The selected architecture has a practical capacity profile for those dimensions. The result compares requirement load with that profile.

  • Comfortable: the inputs remain below the architecture watch zone.
  • Near boundary: one or more dimensions need focused validation, but an upgrade is not assumed.
  • Boundary crossed: multiple dimensions exceed the current tier, or one dimension substantially exceeds it.

Rules are intentionally conservative and will be versioned as verified stack data and real project outcomes are added.
