Slashdot reports on an EETimes story that announces a multicore parallel processing architecture What might make this relevant on here is that the Tao Group is also heavily involved.
Multicore Parallel Processing Architecture : Comment 1 of 5ANN.lu

Yeah, this is really cool. It reminds me of 2 things. Firstly, i remember fleecy stating somewhere that TAO/elate runs on ppc,mips(etc etc) and Some other cool processors that we can't mention yet. Perhaps this is what he was talking about. Also, on the Amiga site, (it is also mentioned in the slashdot article) about Bill McEwans meeting with the Japanese Businessmen. Were these the businessmen he was meeting with? Sounds good!

There is no conection. Could be in the future, but right now it's Tao doing business as companies do.
...Lots of cool stuff going on these days. We stand at the threshold of a new period in the infoage.

Does Bill and Fleecy tell U guys everything or what? So far I have
not seen anyone from Amiga denying the connection, only Pheonix-people.
I'm sure Amiga Corp. like to have SOME secrets :)

Well, greenboy tell us if you KNOW there is no connection or if you just haven't read that there is a connection anywhere!
I don't believe that you actually know this, and having watched Moo Bunny for a while you don't seem like a very professional person, and I must say that your stupid, arrogant comments makes me loose faith in the whole Phoenix platform project!

Multicore Parallel Processing Architecture : Comment 5 of 5ANN.lu

Well, Androxyn, I heard it directly from a friend at Amiga Inc, yes. But it looked pretty obvious to me before that: Amiga personnel have stated more than once what the relationship between them and Tao is; how far it goes. And Amiga are already as busy as you can be and still sleep once in awhile.
Then too, if others were named, likely Amiga would be too, since they are in a good position to have some PR in the larger world right now. I guess mostly though when reading that piece it occured to me Amiga was not a good fit for this kind of undertaking at present.
Oh, that and I've seen a couple other places Tao is involved that have nothing to do with Amiga Inc. Thus the comment about "business". In fact, I spent a fair amount of time at the QNX2000 tradeshow over at Tao's booth, checking out the demo again, talking architecture with their great rep (sorry, forgot his name, but good at the job), and finding out more about their relationship with QNX.
Final comment: that "could be in the future bit" of mine came from the reaction my Amiga Inc associate elicited about the chip idea. By the time this thing hits the street who knows, lots of companies could be involved USING it, eh? : }
