1. It seems the IntellaSys website is back up. It was gone for something on the order of 15 days. I have been informed that TPL and Alliacense have moved out of the building behind the Cypress Hotel. The outage of the IntellaSys website seems likely to have been a side effect of this move; the TPL and Alliacense websites appear to have been restored more expeditiously, within a day or so.

2. The GA40 (actually a GA39 since one computer was replaced by calibration circuitry) was fabricated in mid 2009 to explore a new semiconductor process (130 nm CMOS). The reason it had 40 (39) computers was simply that this is what fit into the default die size for the most economical shuttle runs at the fab we have been working with. If die area is left unoccupied, it has to be "filled" to a certain percentage with each of several layers of material; we prefer to use F18 computers to fill empty space :)

3. The decision by GreenArrays to prototype the above chip has nothing whatsoever to do with Chuck's long standing grievances against TPL. It was simply an empirical step to answer certain engineering questions.
