Standard approach to the cpu is getting to the limit. New technologies could
emerge. The future is hard to predict. One approach has not yet being published
in Go, that is the special purpose cpu. One probably should start getting
familiar with terms of digtal design, such as barrel shifter and
It would please me to have all the gaps filled like this, but it's a matter
of getting them to play on the server.
In a related issue, I plan to build a weak player into the server. This
would be a player who's only function would be to provide an opponent so
that no players has to wait out a ro
While working Pebbles up the ladder, there are times when Pebbles
was squarely in the middle of a huge gap. For example, there was a
time when the opponents were Aya (~2300) and AverageLib (~700). That
is pretty extreme. But even now the next higher rated opponent is
+200 and the next lower rated o
Tilera works well for computations that do not require a lot of memory, for
example video transformations, or packet processing. It probably won't work
so well for computations that require all processors to have access to
off-chip memory, since the memory bandwidth per processor is much lower tha
Cool, but what is the cost? The website doesn't even have a word about how to
obtain thier product. Insane, IMO.
http://www.google.com/products?q=tilera returns ONE (useless) hit.
Or is this chip not yet released?

The advertisement claims that an OS can be installed on each core including
linux. So I don't know why you say it's no good for general computing.
I think you mean each core is far less powerful than a core 2 duo core?
I have not looked at the overview paper yet, but it seems like there is no

Lots of simpler cores is possible, but only for running specialized code
that doesnt need much memory or memory bandwidth. If I have thousands of
cores with small caches the total bandwidth to off-chip memory will be way
too high, and performance will be limited by external memory throughput.
