Furber talks ARMs Posted by Chris on 12:06, 26/2/2010 \| Acorn, Hardware, Interviews, Technology There's an interesting article up here with Steve Furber, one of the designers of the BBC Micro and ARM processor. It's been linked to from Slashdot, which is where we came across it. There's some background in there on the development of the original ARM designs, as well as the StrongARM and the current SpiNNaker project, an attempt to come up with a more biologically based style of computation. All fascinating stuff, and especially so at the moment with the explosion of ARM-based computers out there. 1 comment in the forums

But as we all know from our Ancient Greek legend studies, the original Argonauts were helped out by a chap called Orpheus. We have an exclusive interview with the head honcho at Orpheus Internet, who should be familiar to many ArgoNet subscribers already... Yes, it's Paul Vigay, who for the past six years has been handling ArgoNet support. And setting up the interview wasn't exactly hard, as he sits across the office. Well, for now anyway.
