The Media Processor Graveyard, for refreshers:
TryMedia-1 -- a Kevin Costner production
Chromatic Mpact -- started by that Rambus dweeb! :-)
Samsung MSP -- Cliff & Company.. 'nuff said :-)
Magic Carpet -- nobody cared, it still doesn't have a pulse-ent :-)
NEC -- nice piece of research! :-)
TI TMS '80 -- size DOES matter, and so does programmability and
performance, and power dissipation,.. :-)
.. but wait, there's more !
The Living Dead:
Equator -- the Kim-Grove juggernaut does(n't) again! Also known as:
"Investment goes in, meta flows out!" :-)
VM Labs -- partner Motorola liked it so much, they've started their own
rival design ! (X marks the splat) :-)
Sun Java Media Processor -- accelerates two things nobody
cares about! :-)
ESS -- who knew state machines could resemble a systolic
array ??? :-)
8x8: answers how many of their managers it takes to screw in
a light bulb ! :-)
.. and so many more !
Don't forget the impending Prophecies of Doom: Cradle, VWeb, Rendition! :-)
.. the laughs just never stop ! :-(
TryMedia & StreamMachines have been working together for a while. Sony is the new element. The notion that the TryMedia processor is
in their joint (misad)venture box as an academic air raid siren.
It means very little, bottom line, other than:
Birds of a Feather Delude Each Other |
