It's certainly not clear to me that the compiler technology will exist in time to take full advantage of the architecture, nor is it clear to me that it'll perform well in environments requiring rapid context switching. The bottom line is that EPIC, being new, is unproven. Personally, I think Sun's proposal for MAJC "multiprocessor on a chip" is a better idea. sun.com As long as code is effectively multithreaded, my guess is it should perform well with such a scheme. JMHO, of course (and I'm not a computer designer, although I do have a degree in that field).
