(PS. to my below message on the challenges of architecture evolution and the current OS monopoly)

The future of the OS market may crack open with luck. The world's future OS belongs to the best parallelization code writers on the planet. YOU guys can kick MS tail. Monopoly my a**. Cheers to the future.

FASCINATING. What a clearly presented lecture.
Covers basics and extrapolates. It is time for the Wintel monopoly to be broken up. PERIOD.

Microsoft should open up its OS for SUN Niagara or SPARC multicore chips. Intel should focus on a clean break and make improvemed processors.

Instead we have Microshaft's approach to multicore parallelism (how to increase "F" in the lecture) : we have a cool aero glassy interface. the graphic part of the OS can run on another core.

Thank you Microshaft.

It is common knowledge that in Computer Science we typically make the trade between speed and size. Some people call that the Space vs. Time tradeoff. Yes we can do more faster but yes it is more complicated so we use more space in our code sets to sole sets of ever increasingly complex problems.

a neuron cant calculate shit. i'd think it would be better to compare a neuron to a transistor. and ye, getting to that much transistors might be a few years ahead too ^_^
Anyways, fucking awesome video.

Yes, I agree with you that the capitalist system enslaves us. It is quite obvious how it is a protectionist racket of cronyism. With all bail-outs to the politicians friends.

But we must also be careful to not confuse the true solidarity that exists amongst people doing business with each other on a voluntary basis which could be even more altruistic if only government didn't threaten and mug us people that is trying to do peaceful exchange.

Politics is the poison for the masses! Take your conversation elsewhere comrade.
