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.
