Kirk, an excerpt from the Merced article you hot-linked: Crawford and Huck picked a suitably grandiose acronym to describe their design approach: EPIC, short for Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing. The design will let a single Merced act like a whole squadron of processors handling perhaps more than a dozen computational operations simultaneously, vs. four parallel operations in today's hottest chips. The chip will also be able to run today's Windows software, as well as programs written for HP's version of Unix, all without any modification. Two comments: 1. Merced is going to be one serious muthuh to debug. 2. What on earth is the competition going to have to compete with Merced? Answer: nothing. zilch. nada. zero. Tony
