Default A better way to do embedded Floating point?

Has anybody come across a company called Clearspeed Technology?

http://www.clearspeed.com/

Apparently they are about to do a press release next week announcing a
50Gflop/s massively parallel co-processor, you can program it in
standard C. Its being delivered on a 100Gflop/sec PCI-X boardset that
dissipates less than 25watts, which is extraordinary when you consider
that your typical x86 is in the 100watt region for the processor alone.

Worth checking out if anybody is seriously considering using an FPGA to
accelerate their floating point application. Just imagine what you
could do with this, fill up a 6 slot PC with these cards and you have a
do it yourself supercomputer, a few of these could probably take you
into the Top500 supercomputer list.

Apparently you have.

Has anyone come across a stupid f**k trying to advertise his product by
spamming fake questions on usenet?

Apparently I have.
