Niagara II, anyone??

The words already out on Niagara II. I can neither confirm nor deny .... mostly due to ignorance :)

Of course, Chris Rijk pointed me to this article 2 days ago ...

The presentation on Niagara 2 from Hot Chips is available online (http://mediacast.sun.com/details.jsp?id=1622) thanks to Marc Hamilton.

It doesn't confirm everything from the Comms Design article but it does expand on the information in the Register. For example the presentation confirms the 8 threads per core but explains that it is actually 2 x 4 thread units which looks more efficient than a single 8 thread unit. The presentation also has a few details on how the various components (Integer execution, Encryption, FP units) interact.
