Few newbie questions for Hsu, maybe someone can ask them or some of them; first attempt to make a question list for Hsu: -how big is the hashtable on that processor, or didn't he implement it at all at it? -why doing a fixed depth at a processor, sounds very stupid to me -how fast is communications with his design with the mainframe/supercomputer -how many cycles takes an evaluation at his hardware single chip? -what micron technology, 0.60? -what megaherz speed runs CPU at? -how to design on CPU's knowledge depending things which depend on other knowledge in a smart and lossless way speed it up? -how many transistors on CPU (or does this sound cruel?)? -how many dollars is pressing one CPU when pressing say 10,000?
