Of course, Tilera is a many core architecture, so again, I think
this supports the original point, which is we're now in the parallel
and distributed age, and that demands software design techniques to
match. (Indeed, If I Recall Correctly, the guys at MIT that designed
the original Tilera stuff are now looking at building 1000 core
devices.)
