I'd predict the former. As a conceptual preview (if you'd like), take a look at POWER processors' VSX instructions. That'd be good technical grounding if you're anxious to do some reading. Treat VSX as inspirational. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
