SHARC [WAS: lean + mean]


Chris L.:
>The SHARC is of course suitable for Forth


I completely disagree:

1 - optimizing the pipeline is a bitch

2 - you must tie-up a DAG for indexing, which totally destroys it's
utility as a DSP


Yes, you can force a SHARC to run FORTH, but it ain't pretty...  it's
better to couple it to a less specialized machine.
