Re:Memory (Score 2, Informative)

Wasn't one of the main premises of the TRIPS system that each processor is more or less independent of its neighbors? They used the term "network" to describe the processors' interrelationship. With operating systems that commonly are processing 20 threads when no apps are running (*cough* XP), what would be the advantage of increased "networking" of the processors?

It appears that the only issue that would be solved is there would be less lag between processors--but at the speeds they're talking about, the memory supply and caching will present new issues anyhow, ne?

Sorry about my complete disregard for proper terminology...
