1. A computing system architecture comprising:

  • a data source for providing data through an interconnect fabric;

    a stateless human interface device coupled to said interconnect fabric for receiving and rendering data, wherein said data source is configured to maintain an active session associated with a user when said user is connected and disconnected from said stateless human interface device, said active session including a persistent representation of one or more executing services for the active session, such that said active session is maintained, and the executing services of said active session are configured to continue execution when said user is disconnected; and

    an identifier associated with said user configured to connect said user with said stateless human interface device, said stateless human interface device configured to display said active session when said user is connected, said active session resuming said persistent representation of the executing services from a previous but still active session from which said user previously disconnected, said stateless human interface device configured to not display said active session when said user is disconnected,wherein said identifier configured to provide said user access to said active session from any of a plurality of stateless human interface devices connected to said data source through said interconnect fabric.
