Do you have anymore to say than that?

Atleast the design of a new risc FPGA Transputer keeps me busy and the
compiler even more so, nothing better to do. Not terribly sure if
anyone will want it though or if the world is now past that & occam or
do we have to go around the circle again to reinvent everything.

I am really wondering when & if Intel & others get to put 16 or more
cpu cores on a chip will they have evolved more to include more
Transputer like features esp P scheduling, channels, links or was it
all a dream or even a mistake.

And what will it be called? In a recent EET article by Richard Newton
U.C. Berkeley Dean notes the coming of a sea of processors

http://www.eedesign.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=51000480

"Newton's speech echoes previous scholars whom have predicted that
processors will become tomorrow's transistor, progressing from tens to
hundreds to thousands etcetera on a single IC."

I bet they won't be called Transputers and won't run Occam either.
