VM snapshots for fast startup are potentially nice. But what's the format going to be like? Any realistic chance this will work with multiple browsers? Would need to be something closer to Java serialization than LISP-ish VM imaging.

No, just message passing (notionally via JSON).

We'll have to wait until some GAMBIT imagery is released before we know for sure -- and it sounds like the NGA isn't terribly enthusiastic about big data releases right now. But if the best practical resolution is no better than HEXAGON co

That's for HEXAGON, the large-scale panoramic system. The KH-8 GAMBIT system--also declassified last week--had a substantially better ground resolution than that (think inches, not feet).

Unfortunately __builtin_popcnt isn't emitting a popcnt instruction with the GCC I've got here, even using -msse4.2. I believe that very recent GCC does get this right.

Recent Intel/AMD CPUs have a POPCNT instruction, which seems like the logical way to do this. Would be interested to see how that performs compared to these implementations.

Indeed -- and stuck with it for quite some time. They were trialling Xen for some time, but I don't think they ever deployed it on a terribly large scale. Certainly, my VM went straight from UML to KVM.

There's a lot of useful stuff built on R, but I think it's a shame to say there isn't any scope for innovation in this area. Incanter (Clojure) is worth a look, too.

Any ideas how practical it might be to get this running under Mono?
