Re: [oc] Beyond Transmeta...

["Jim Dempsey" <tapedisk@ameritech.net>]

Quantum Computing, tertiary number base, optical processing
or existing (traditional) technology are all implimentation issues.
The problems for bit-stream processing is a routing problem of
the bitstreams to the proper combinatorial sections of the processor.
This is the same problem regardless of the implimentation.

A few posts back in this thread I made the analogy of the newspaper
printing press. Popular microprocessor design is more like a sheet-fed
press ca-chunk, ca-chunk, ca-chunk. The bitstream processor would
be more like a web press, shhhhhhheeee data streaming through the
process being handled and redirected many times.
