- EPIC is faster
-
By taking out the extra hardware needed for pipelining "tricks", you create a less complex chip - and you have more real estate for "primary" computation. This is an evolution from RISC - which did the same thing by removing extra op codes from CISC chips.
If you can feed an EPIC chip a stream of operations that work the same as in a RISC chip (i.e. hardware pipelining features), it will run FASTER! Not just faster, but maybe an order of magnitude faster! The compiler is doing more up-front work for you. If HP and Intel can convince someone, ANYONE to use this - they may just have a winner . . . (BIG if). - Posted by: Roger Ramjet Posted on: 12/17/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
