Star Bridge FPGA "HAL" More Than Just Hype

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the smoke-clearing-mirror-disappearing dept.

Gregus writes "Though mentioned or discussed in previous /. articles, many folks (myself included) presumed that the promises of Star Bridge Systems were hype or a hoax. Well the good folks at NASA Langley Research Center have been making significant progress with this thing. They have more info and videos on their site, beyond the press release and pictures posted here last year. So it's certainly not just hype (though $26M for the latest model is a bit beyond the $1,000 PC target)."

    I downloaded the Phoenix browser the other day. It's OK - but a few questions for you nerds:

    -Why does it need 18M - 30M just to run?
    -Why didn't they use the standard MS Windows components? Their cheap replacements are slow to respond and draw.

    Otherwise it is pretty nice, aside from not being able to display all the pages (it does show the MS Developer Network pages though -- albeit, slowly).

    Thanks in advance for your responses to my queries.
