Comment Scalability of Crusoe (Score 1) 768
Have you read the Whitepaper on Crusoe? Nobody seemed to realise the real potential beyond the little guy. 1.It says (well, almost) that if you want to get a 4way parallel processor you only have to do minor adjustments in the translation software. And it still won't overheat(I hope). 2.The scalability is GREAT. You could stack 4FPU units, 2 integer units...etc(8 units per total) and use 256bit VLIWs to send data to it. Minor adjustments in the translation software are needed. 3.You can upgrade your hardware without any kind of change to the apps. Merced watch out:)). Think of an 8 way Crusoe being fed reordered translated instructions. By the software god. 4.This is why we should await a little more from Transmeta in the next year. just a little more...
