- DiabloD3 11y agoNow that is impressive.
- yuvadam 11y agoPossibly in order to use three different architectures to avoid any nasty arch-specific bugs
- spectralblu 11y agoI believe these are requirements, that each of the separate teams working on these projects have to use wholly different suppliers to also minimize the chance that the same external factors negatively influence the system.
- ejdyksen 11y agoAlso, different compilers: Each PFC channel contains three dissimilar processor lanes, and software from Ada source code using three different Ada compilers to provide triple dissimilarity.
- jpr 11y agoI find it strange that they use the same language in all the systems. One could argue that there is a possibility of a fault in the language specification.
