The chip (aside from the puny one that competes in the Dragonball space) won't be out until late this year.
The "puny" chip (known also as the TM3120) is far from it. It is 128 bit, can modify its power consumption better than the dragonball, and has about 350 mhz over the dragonball. It runs x86 and any number of other code sets, and is out now.
The 700mhz chip (TM5400) is not out yet, but will be mid-2000.
As a matter of due dillegence, I have checked around articles from several sites (CNN, some linked on their own page) and came up with the following conflicting data:
Patmos mentions a 200 mhz bus on their page. -- they do not mention WHAT runs at 200 however.
CNN says they run on 200Mhz K6-2 chips -- This is not so powerful, considering there are many options out there that run at higher speeds and have better FP performance.
PC weeks says each PC on the rack is running a 450mhz K2 and and the Limbix controllers run on 750mhz Athlons. They mention the Fibre Channel network runs at 200mhz and 1.065 Gbps rate.
So the FC connections are 200mhz, and the limbix boxes run a 200mhz bus, shared with the k6 450 servers running at 66mhz bus speeds.
I would have built it with all athlons, if given the choice.
They use the K6 450 mhz processors in their 8 core boxes, but the two control boxes use athlon processors. How they can claim to add that up to being a a full 200mhz bus is beyond me.
200 Mhz K6-2's arnt in the market anymoe.. a query on pricewatch for K6-2 300mhz's turned up chips for 27 dollars.. He had 11 processors.. that's well under 300 dollars
Much to the dismay of those tearing apart the system based on this statement, the BUS is 200mhz, and last I checked the Athlon ran at that speed (or rather 100mhz with upside/downside clocking.) Now, if you look at the statement on the site where they mention a 200mhz bus, the only chipset used on this system could be an athlon.
It's funny, cause when I checked up on the definition on m-w.com, they listed a supercomputer (1968) as : "a large very fast mainframe used especially for scientific computations "... That's kinda laughable today. by that definition, a 1-way database server is the same as a Cray is the same as a IBM 390...
I do agree with your assessment : it has to be at least 50-100 times faster until I consider it "super".. a Cray-Y-MP ain't even that super anymore...
Linux's scalability lies in its problems with scaling MP in the same box. This is a modified beowulf cluster, and is not MP. There is not yet a chipset to run athlon under MP. This shouldn't be a problem, otherwise a beowulf cluster wouldn't work either.
Though, I would like to see one of these with 4-way SMP athlons on each node. That would be killer! It would get a bit hot though:)

Cobra and ORB are used by IBM, not COM. I'd rather use Cobra and ORB. They are grounds up built instead of "ohmygodapplehasopendocwhatarewegonnaslaponnow?"
They had a BeOS port that came with the DR versions. That didn't seem too hard. They already have a linux version out, and I'm not surprised that redhat hasn't spoken out about this. CW _is_ supposed to be for that distro, at least if you believe the hype.
I think it would be great if the result of this were the courts decision that an unused patent is a self-infringing one. It would definately clear the way for important things in the USTPO.
In two months I lost over thirty pounds - until the crash.
ACE stacks are NEVER reccomended for more than 3-4 weeks, should NEVER be used with a strict diet (quite contrary, a diet with high carb/protien/calories is reccomended), and you should NEVER start a strict excersize routine with a strict diet in combination of drugs. That is just stupid. You can take ACE stacks if you are already in a regimen and on some sort of sensible diet (And I do NOT advocate Atkins either! That's dangerous, unless you like having the same blood as the Xenomorphs in Alien) or training for an event. Most people who take ACE are already in good physical condition, and Have checked for signs of heart disease. If you are 30 pounds over your personal Ideal weight, you are right, only diet and excersize can help you.

K6-2/450's are 100 Mhz bus. Other than that, your post sounds accurate.
My mistake. Thanks!

Aha! found it: the fibre channel network runs at 200mhz. Had to refer to an outside article, so YMMV.

The url is www.starbridgesystems.com and they appear to be alive, well, and selling systems.
Though I wouldn't call this the same concept as transmeta. FPGAs are fully programmable, and have no reall core; it all lies outside of the FPGA.

Quite affordable. nws.noaa.gov is LEASING an IBM SP supercomputer for 36 million for 2 years!

hell yeah, it's affordable.

Tell us this then: Who are the people buying CodeWarrior?
Professional Developers.
What do they do?
BUY their deveolpment tools.
Have no doubt, this is their market, and people will buy if there is a need. That remains to be seen with Makefiles and autoconfigure scripts.
They had a BeOS port that came with the DR versions. That didn't seem too hard. They already have a linux version out, and I'm not surprised that redhat hasn't spoken out about this. CW _is_ supposed to be for that distro, at least if you believe the hype.

Good thig for us Microsof bought the righ to he leers "N" ad "T" so you ca' use them i your pae due to prior work.
