A Cray?What are you trying to do? "dream" hardware is a very wide question.WMMOn Feb 12, 2008 1:05 PM, <castironpi@gmail.com> wrote:> What is dream hardware for the Python interpreter?> --> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-... http://warrenmyers.co... may not play dice with the universe, but something strange isgoing on with the prime numbers." --Paul Erdos"It's not possible.

The only "dream hardware" I know of is the human brain. I have a
slightly used one myself, and it's a pretty mediocre Python interpreter.

Someone mentioned language-specific chips earlier. Or, if you could
dedicate processes on certain chips or cores. Paralell, serial, cache
size, pick.

the human brain may be a pretty mediocre Python interpreter, but
darn if I don't miss

>>> import dwim

on other platforms...

-tkc

A 10 GHz single core.

(Dual core if doing lots of I/O.)

Handle a dual 6GHz core. Code sometimes happens in order. Other
times not, and then you can dual-pipeline / dual-bus.

Nah. Too few storage capacity, and too slow and error-prone at
simple calculations. The few special but very advanced features are
all hard-wired to custom hardware, it's a real nightmare
interfacing with it.

I'm not sure that the Python interpreter actually does dream, but if it's
anything like me, it's probably a giant computer the size of a bus, made
out of broccoli and oven-roasted garlic, that suddenly turns into
Sylvester Stallone in a tutu just before my program returns its result.
