Yes, but this memory trafic is a different animal than what the thread was talking about. The tread was about making/uncopying, and for that you don't need inter chip communication, each thread can run independently and can uncopy independently on its own stack. For this double cache bandwidth is good, two chips can simply copy double as fast as one chips so Bob's argument that 2.4 Mnps was more than twice as bad 1 Mnps isn't valid concerning this specific issue. I realize there are many other factors pointing in the negative direction (e.g. copying the stack itself between chips would be a killer). -S. >MvH Dan Andersson
