DETAILS DON'T WARRENT PUNGENT COMMENTOS, AS SEEN HERE:

Santa Clara, Ca. - Intel has acquired RapidMind, a provider of software tools that allow development of C++ code for use on multiple processors.

Coming on the heels of Intel's acquisition of Wind River Systems, the move seems to be a part of a strategy by Intel to build up its in-house multicore software capability

Rapid Mind simply seeks hot spots in cpu & then places core targets on individual sub routines, greatly speeding up Mess. Its isn't difficult nor hard, in Fact, Its Soft. From Old Mans Perspective: Good 'n Soft. Maybe micro,Hehe,Ha,ahhh.From smallest spurts come largest laughs.

On SaraLee Comment above, Larrabee IS Perfect Example of Software Migrating to Hardware. AS NT5 x86 Platform Ends, its perfected software Moves into Hardware, circa 2012. In Fact each Transisiton has Such Event Call it PhysX or Agenia for NT4. It Never got figured Out. Larrabee might be Flash In Pan, too. Mainly cause who'd want x86 Processor Way Out der. Thats way transition units are & good way to such money out of roadkill, as bit 'o bull, until its HAs to be done, by someone ELSE.

Nt4 to Nt5 wasn't such pump as Nt5 to Nt6, so finalization of NT5 Seems bit BIGGER. & IS.

By Then NT7 Should Be Coming round Mountain, When sheeish Comes, sheeish Be Comming Round Mountain when Heeish Comes, Oh, they Be singing & Praying, Adding Ultee' Multi Core Gaming....Silver Heals Sparking when Dray Come.

Surely this is a precursor to Larrabee? It'd make sense for Intel to give away the SDK needed for developers to get the very best of it - whether programming games, transcoding or whatever...
