SW Weenies: Ready for CMT? 378

Posted by Hemos on Monday June 13, 2005 @09:20AM from the step-on-up dept.

tbray writes "The hardware guys are getting ready to toss this big hairy package over the wall: CMT (Chip Multi Threading) and TLP (Thread Level Parallelism). Think about a chip that isn't that fast but runs 32 threads in hardware. This year, more threads next year. How do you make your code run fast? Anyhow, I was just at a high-level Sun meeting about this stuff, and we don't know the answers, but I pulled together some of the questions."

Now my hardware will force me to support CMT [cmt.com] on my computer? This is as bad as DRM.

I almost thought this was going to be about Star Wars nerds being forced to watch something on Country Music Television.

On a good day, with a following wind, Niagara might be able to do 8 integer instructions per second...

Uh, I believe they said it was 1.4GHz, not 1Hz.

Yes, and I corrected myself straight away in another post. In true slashdot style, the post where I corrected myself got modded down to Offtopic.
