  1. oh lord... on Cell Architecture Explained · · Score: 1

    ...save us all from this idiot!

    seriously, the gentleman that wrote this article is a worthy match for Bowie J. Poag (described properly at http://bowiepoag.is.batshitinsane.com/).

    it is completely clear from the text that he knows shit about architecture of computer systems and even much less about parallel processing.

    communication vs. processing ratio of parallel algorithms? never mind, we'll use the method at http://www.blachford.info/quantum/fastlight.html for communication between "cells". inherent serial nature of many algorithms? who cares! the OS will implicitly parallelize any algorithm, no matter, how serially designed...

    anyway, take a stroll over the rest of his site: his knowledge of physics (demonstrated in the antigravity machine proposal) perfectly matches his knowledge of computers.

  2. quite happy with 2.2.x for a dedicated server on Kernel 2.2 - It Lives! · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I run 2.2.18 on an ancient sparcstation used as a small traffic web and cvs server. It just passed its 397th day of uptime.
