So, single-chip paradigm architectures... and you really don't see the difference between these and the Cell? And it isn't that Linux runs on the new chip, it is that it can manage task assignment from programs on top of linux. >You lost me here. Aside from a working kernel, tool chain, desktop, >and all the source code, what else do hackers need? Help and advise to take whatever stack they use on the old paradigm machines and optimize them for this new paradigm. Ownershop or at least encouragement of a community. Specific recommendation: a mailing list with folks on it who know the architecture and what was done to the kernel and perhaps some octopiler guys. Maybe someone from the Y-HPC end Purpose of the list: to help folks working on language and database tools to take advantage of this new design. -T -- __________ Ted Goranson Sirius-Beta _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
