Hi!

----

Mostly offtopic for this list:
TheRegister.co.uk has a small article about the ne SPARC64-X processor
- see http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/04/fujitsu_sparc64_x_processor/

Noteable (for us) feature is the Decfloat accelerator... which is IMHO
an indicator that Decimal floating point has become more important
(remember the old proposal for typeset -D and typeset -lD to define
|decimal64| and |decimal128| datatypes (agghllrr... does anyone
remember which printf format letters are reserved for DecFloat ?))

Bye,
Roland
