[CTJUG Forum] Re: The Register: Azul to fire up 48-core Java chip in 2007

[Ben van der Merwe]

I think die point is that one can run unmodified applications on this hardware and scale out to incredible performance. There are many large enterprises that need to do that, after all Azul is very successful. In almost all cases the cost will be a fraction of rewriting off-the-shelve solutions to improve their architecture. More importantly, the performance/cost ratio will be much better than the equivalent x86 or Sparc SMP hardware.

Cheaper to buy/write/run your own JavaSpace-based compute farm. -- Ben van der Merwe [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CTJUG Forum" group.
