<Check out what Rude Dog had to say about Merced's delay> John, if you do not understand what people are talking about, please restrain yourself from any remarks. "Rudedog" said approximately the same I did, just from other perspective. Once again: * there is not much you can parallelize for usual _interactive_ applications. * Only few very special algorithms will benefit from the explicit parallelizm. However, a specialized vector processors/DSP will do these jobs much more efficiently. * With overwhelming number of registers, the EPIC ISA will suck big in real-time data processing and multitasking/time sharing (do not be confused with "time traveling"). Just MO. <Merced is still alive, just got delayed!> Maybe forever? Hehehe (tm Stockmoron)
