architecture. In a few years we'll have, say, 1024 processors on a
chip, and something new will be required to manage them. It will be a
thousand times simpler and more reliable than Windows.

I think that the number of virtual cores will grow faster than the
number fo real cores. With extra register banks and a bit of clever
design, a single ALU can look like two slightly slower ones.

Not register banks, just a couple of bits in the rename register
files.

I expect to see multicore machines with less actual floating point
ALUs than actual integer ALUs.

I would think that would be more of a mess than the small amount of
extra hardware for an FPU for each CPU. Asymetries can get messy
fast.


Yeah... just look how ugly your retarded ass turned out to be!

Speaking of asymmetries, how's mom's laundry doing?
