Hardware and Software Architecture of the Machine [video]

Has the FPGA base system been built yet? I seem to sense it is only simulation at the end of the talk.

I love to see the latency, through put info on the fabric interface. I used to work on some AMP/SMP x86 xeon base server 15 years ago and dreamed about big massive parallel system interconnect with infinit band and/or PCIe/PCI fabric.

But SW for interconnect almost infinite number of CPU via standard network HW/protocol are just so much easier.

It starts out sounding interesting, but then when he starts talking about Linux and address mappings, it starts to sound like just another variant of a VM living within a server cluster.

Will the Singularity happen if someone installs IBM Watson on HP's The Machine?
