Next Generation Stack Computing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cpu-of-the-fuuuuture dept.

mymanfryday writes "It seems that stack computers might be the next big thing. Expert Eric Laforest talks about stack computers and why they are better than register-based computers. Apparently NASA uses stack computers in some of their probes. He also claims that a kernel would only be a few kilobytes large! I wonder if Windows will be supported on a stack computer in the future?"

    Damnit, try and make a half-ass witty remark... and then add first pr0st at the end. Something you speculate about the artcile, which will get you modded high at first, and by the time anyone reads the article and realises you were wrong, it's too late.

    This way you get first post, and karma whore at the same time. You will soon learn, my pupil.
