Take a look at Micron's "HMC" stacked memory architecture. THIS is a move in the right direction. The short-term caveat is its focus on higher-performance niches like servers. It's a long time before you'll see this

Moore's Law hasn't slowed innovation. The cost of fab toolsets and the cost of chip design are the culprits. Many cutting-edge tools (etchers, deposition, others) now come with price tags of >$5M. A new 200mm fab can easily run

Harris Semiconductor attempted to intro the "RTX" microncontroller in the late 1980s. It featured a true Forth-based instruction set. RTX never caught traction due (IMO) to the lack of developer tools; the group was discontinued i

Thanks - much appreciated. I've used Heroku to test a couple of "hello world" apps, but was hoping to use DreamHost's shared server account in order to learn the tricks of deployment for myself.
