I'm asking this as a guy who loved the parts of Adrian Cockroft's book
that talked about the different cache and memory architectures in sparcs
and how they worked...

What IS crappy about the SM100 implementation.  Is it terrible caches?
Inefficient execution engine?  What?

Not trying to poke you, I just love this kind of detail, and if you've
got it... get with the sharing =)
