Haypress Creek supercomputer: 360 cores running at 700 Mips

hehe, the 'novix' gets mentioned, we had a pre-production unit of that chip back in the stone age :)

Quite amazing how fast it was for its day, we used it for some real time image recognition (license plate scanning) demonstrations.

"Within a few short years, we can expect to be dealing with multi-million-thread programs running on million-core systems.

This will no doubt stress the contemporary HPC software model which was developed in a time when 512 cores was a large number."
