In short words, E2K is very different from other CPUs on the market. The other part of the core technology is a heavily optimizing compiler, which Elbrus people were developing for something like 10 years.
Also what is interesting E2K will both interpretate & recompile IA32 programs (unlike Merced), putting them in E2K form back to the disk. Dont ask me how. Also UltraSparc CPU was developed with help of Babayan team, and in general his company has done a lot of work for Sun. Now they are maintaining SunOS, for example.
If anyone is interested, there is a big interview with Babayan (where he also speaks about Merced technology, future of the CPUs etc) about E2K at http://www.ibusiness.ru/archive/story/babayan.ht ml and http://www.osp.ru/cw/1998/03/business/05.htm
Considering the amount of money you are going to spend on all your audio/video stuff, I think hiring a Linux hacker to write all the needed software wouldn't hurt your pocket much;-)
After installing a 2.2 on one of my systems, I was somewhat disappointed by the number of inconviences it introduced in the networking area, like no aliased interfaces in "route" and ipchains do not support interface IP numbers. Also, 2.2 sometimes sort of blocked.. although I must admit it is much faster under HDD load.
Maybe its time to try one of the *BSDs again... Do *BSDs support routing by source/TOS/port well? portfw? Whats the packaging system used - is it as easy to use as RPMs/DEBs, i.e. dependencies, checkable PGP-signatures on packages (for automatic upgrades) and so on..
I always thought that the real reason of guys shutting down the UltraHLE site was that they realized the potential threat from Nintendo. They have Connectix as an example already.
Freshmeat interface rocks!! Dont listen to idiots.

Any idiots who think they are clever enough to attack the webmaster of one of the greatest sites on the Internet should be killed immediately.
I like new FreshMeat interface, very nice and clean. Great job!! Unfortunately there are idiots in every place of Earth....:-(

Where is it?

Great that you have done it.

I understand Russian and was pretty excited after reading all these articles, but I'm not well at making translations
If I won't see your article posted on slashdot RSN, I'll write them as well reminding them about it.

Anyone cares to translate?
I've always knew that military didn't use the crap stolen by KGB from West (i.e. OS/360, VAX clones)...
:-)
Now I at least know the name
If the soviet government wasn't so paranoid about their military technologies we could really have another Silicon Valley now..
