"How so? Well, PeakStream had developed tools that improve the
performance of single-threaded applications on multi-core chips. Such
tools should prove useful to coders who don't want to deal with complex,
parallel code but do want to take advantage of performance gains
delivered via products such as GPGPUs (general purpose GPUs) from Nvidia
and AMD/ATI and even multi-core x86 processors."
Sounds very Microsoft. Even though Google's main technology is running
high performance server "apps", they are really too dumb to advance
the technology so they buy it.
Moreover, they find that they cannot master the new paradigm, parallel
programming, so they find a technology that pushes the old paradigm as
far as possible.
Very Microsoft.
