Some Questions from the Application Group to the Point Designs - I

• 1. What is the Estimated cost of your system -- use the SIA estimate that semiconductor hardware will be 25 times cheaper per transistor in the 2006 time frame than it is in 1996. You may take $50 per Mbyte for 1996 memory and $5 per Mflop/s for 1996 sustained RISC processor performance (which roughly scales with transistor count), or else otherwise justify your estimate.
• 2. What are your Programming and Execution models
  • e.g.what are targeted programming languages and what features of machine will be exposed to the user.
