Svejk: Well, heck. Can't you just make do with your current manual sorting methods?

I'm a little concerned about some of the claims being made. To wit:

"Reconfigurable computing" is the next distinct phase of the computer era and represents both a full-fledged paradigm shift and the next industry standard in information technology and electronics.

SBS's "reconfigurable computing" technology encompasses a complete hardware and software system that achieves order of magnitude improvements in speed, design time, flexibility, size, and cost and at the same time is portable across incompatible hardware platforms and supports other operating systems.

In basic terms, "reconfigurable computing" combines the speed of hardware with the flexibility of software. SBS's reconfigurable computers are capable of performing a wide range of computing tasks at an exceedingly high rate of speed using an extraordinarily small amount of hardware. These qualities have never before been combined in a single computing system.

The speeds of operation which SBS's "reconfigurable computing" systems are expected to attain are beyond the capacity of any computing system known today, including supercomputers manufactured by companies such as IBM and Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI"). That is why SBS has chosen to call them Hypercomputer systems ä .

SBS's Hypercomputer systems may be described as massively parallel, reconfigurable, third-order programmable, ultra-tightly-coupled, fully linearly-scaleable, evolvable, asymmetrical multi-processors which achieve unprecedented benefits in performance, design time, power consumption, size, and cost.


Hmmmmm ... sounds like a silver bullet.

I think Veronex (VXTK) has a patent already pending on those.
