Have you read the papers on REKURSIV?


http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0470212233/


Hard to find book, but very interesting. Amazon has a new version of
the book through a market place seller for under $50.


Why hasn't it been mentioned yet? Intel 432 was mentioned, but I
thought it was deemed performance inferior to REKURSIV?
[REKURSIV never got beyond a prototype, 432 was shipped as a (not very
successful) product. -John]
