first of all there has been work done with MPI for OS X each core runs a extremely small version of mac os x that only has basic MPI function. powerpoint would have to be rewritten. the user interface, as in current os x is graphic proccessor.…

this is not for iBook. the iBook will continue to use G4. this is for powerbook.

i think tomb thinks this is wrong because it is from Nr9 im sorry tomb, Nr9 does have sources. i am originally from taiwan and taiwan is pretty leaky.

Dave, Apple is not only multithreading the OS. they have been working on this for quite a long time and it will take longer: this is because the PowerBook G5 architecture requires a mini-OS on each core and then link together with message passing…

the programming model will be differenet. those number are meaningless
-
cell is short for cellular the STI cell architecture is not revolutionary. it is same thing as cellular computing
-
why dont you do a google for Blue Gene and cell
-
tomb, that is the specific processor they codenamed Cell Cell computing is a concept. It is beginning to surface in prototypes of the Blue Gene using 440 cores.

deleted because redundant*

Cheap small core like 440 is a step toward the cell base computing. I know what MPI is. you will see. wait for next year. 440 FPU2 and VMX is not that high power. you can have all your problems you want with this concept, but try not to tu…

it is a new way. the old way is the 970. it has already be done similar with processor like the Pentium and athlon. the new way is using many low power core
-
Tomb, this is just beginning of mac's cell based future. they can implement MPI early, and mac developer will also kno that future desktop will also have it PowerPC 970 is like 60 watts. good luck putting that in laptop each APU has two FP…

tomb this powerbook g5 is obviously not SMP. the multiprocessing is distributd via a message passing interface. this is main reason for delay in OS X. you are wrong if you think cooling engineering will let a 970 go in a powerbook. this …

on a sidenote considering my bestest grammar it is the beauty of human language to remain coherent in the absence of strict syntax we should take advantage of that. this is future of english.
-
programmer will not rewrite software for just a laptop, but this is the general direction in which mac architecture will move, and apple will make that clear to developer

The L3 cache is sufficient fast at 22.4GB/sec the L1 cache is still 32/32
-
heh everyone is trolling on battlefront to some degree, whether they kno it or not. i dont think we need to discuss that anyway, the processor has no real L2 cache but a 2KB prefetch buffer for L3
