I can either purchase 4 machines with gigabit (~1000Mb/s) ethernet, Myranet (~200Mb/s) cards [...]

You meant Myrinet. And you meant 200MB/s not 200Mb/s. Actually it's almost 2 Gbps (2000 Mbps).

Remember, there are only ~10^30 hydrogen atoms in the universe or something.

You're only off by a few orders of magnitude...

Try 10^78 (the vast majority of the universe is hydrogen).

"bit" means binary digit :)

You meant "trit".

Re:Processor emulation, big deal

On: Dynamic Cross-Processor Binary Translation

Let's say my source architecture uses interrupt-based I/O. My target uses memory-mapped. Will this translator be able to handle that?

I think you've confused two separate issues:

• Interrupt-based I/O vs polling
• Memory-mapped I/O vs port I/O

Please don't interpret "I don't like Linux" as "I think Windows is better than Linux", because I don't like Windows either. I think they're both half-assed solutions to a really difficult problem, and I think we can do better.

Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie said it best. Every OS sucks. Download that song right now, it's hilarious.
