The week is almost over; why don't we just wait until they actually release whatever it is and then link to it directly?

Hmmm... you'll be posting a lot on this website if links to links annoy you!

A more interesting article that could have been linked directly as it is already available is at

on transactional memory. This follows the announcement mid-week that their Rock processor will provide hardware support for transactional memory.

Rock will support transactional memory? That is really great news. Something like transactional memory is the best chance to make the power of massively multicore CPUs available to mere mortals.
