Developing a new sophisticated state of the art processor e.g. in 90 or even 65nm technologicy is a very complicatetd and especially a very expensive project. This is complety off question for an application like a Go processor. One needs a few million (10**6) $ for such a project. I am working currently at the Computer-Tomography departent of Siemens. Together with General Electrics the greatest supplier for Computer-Tomography. Developing special purpose ASICs for image processing is not discussed anymore. Its too expensive, too complicated and the development cycle is too slow. All the processing is done with FPGAs. CT is a somewhat bigger market than computer Go.
Everyone knows that it was only a theoretical discussion. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
