The Process of Process Tracking

Satin Attempts to Corral a Recalcitrant Beast

by Bryon Moyer

Want to scare an engineer? There’s an easy weapon out there. And it consists of only one word.

“Process.”

Process is supposed to mean that a company has a formula, that they have a way of doing things that works, and that it’s repeatable, and – most importantly – that it’s a feature of the company, not some individual that works there. That means the process survives even when key people are no longer working there.  Read More

I think, in processor architecture diagnosis, the term is no longer "hyperAptiv" but "Application Deficit Disorder" - it's when you have a great new processor but not many applications run on it yet...

It's the devil's work, I tell you! Repent!

Oh, wait... It's Satin, not Satan.

Never mind.

I asked about "hyperAptiv" but suspect that it was considered and discarded.

The FPGA companies have done this as well. First, Altera with their 3-tiered Stratix, Arria, Cyclone designations. Then, more recently, Xilinx with Kintex, Artix, Virtex. Seems like it's a trend.

MIPS could now come out with a series of passive comp…
