] The Mountain View, Calif.-based company on Monday
] announced the S5000, which it says is the first processor
] that can add new instructions while operating. The chip
] combines an existing RISC (reduced instruction set
] computing) architecture with a large reconfigurable area
] of programmable logic called the Instruction Set
] Extension Fabric, ISEF. The company's own C/C compiler
] automatically spots areas in a program that require
] intensive computation and creates new instructions for
] the processor to handle those tasks. Dan: do you know who these people are? |
