No, not really. The Crusoe CPU does hardware emulation of the x86 CPU. IE, pretending to be another type of CPU. The openpower does machine virtualisation. IE, heres (say) four virtual linux machines, but in the background is a two CPU server.
Not a lot of difference granted, but not the same either. BTW I don't own either type of machine so this is all second hand info. -----Original Message----- From: Martin B�hr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 27 May 2005 11:12 p.m. To: Craig FALCONER Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Invitation from IBM -- the launch of IBM eServer OpenPower On Thu, May 26, 2005 at 02:35:27PM +1200, Craig FALCONER wrote: > In short - "vmware done in hardware" isn't that what transmeta crusoe cpu does to? greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
