It'll be a shame if they don't dump a chunk of that money on the Mill. However there may very well be some string attached unsuitable to Ivan Godard et al.

- just2n 9y agoI wonder if it being completely open source would have an impact on that.
- deepnotderp 9y agoThe Mill isn't really very well suited for supercomputing workloads. It tries to do well on poorly written C++ code (aka "general purpose code") that OoO machines have historically don well on. By contrast, VLIW machines are perfectly suitable for supercomputing, and indeed, I think that Itanium did well in the HPC world until it was discontinued. Something like the Rex Computing Neo would be more suitable for this.
