Completely superior chip that Cortex-M3. Though i couldn't program much for it so far - difficult to get contract jobs for. Can do fast multiplication 32 x 32 bits. You can even implement RSA very fast on that chip. Runs at 70Mhz or so? Usually writing assembler for such CPU's is more efficient by the way than using a compiler. Compilers are not so efficient, to say polite, for embedded cpu's. Writing assembler for such cpu's is pretty straightforward, whereas in HPC things are far more complicated because of vectorization. -->> ah, but this is not really a HPC application. It's a cluster computer architecture demonstration platform. The Java based arduino environment is pretty simple and multiplatform. Yes, it uses a sort of weird C-like language, but there it is... it's easy to use. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
