In addition to having to design the system with the functionality of the hardware in mind, the software designer must also consider how to write programs to best utilize the available components. The different algorithms can run faster on different hardware e.g. GPU's with high throughput versus a single CPU. Portability is an issue, so software is generally written for a specific hardware, such as an OS for a specific phone hardware, or the previously mentioned Anton supercomputer.
