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 !
