So they reached their funding goal, eh?
I'm still not clear on the advantages over GPGPU computing that this represents, but the 45GHz description is very misleading.
 
By this way of adding all the cores together, a Freescale P5040 is an 8.8 to 10 GHz processor. Total BS.

Thanks Vidarh.
Now Kesa, there has never been a pure democracy and never will be.
And Communism has never been practiced outside of Walden Pond.
Rather, you have either Socialism or a combination of Socialism with Totalitariainism.
 
Communism as a form of government simply doesn't work on a large or small scale.
 
For a good example read "Animal Farm".

Bottom line, return to Tribalism before it's too late! ;)

Didn't notice that we'd left it, just that the tribes got larger.
