The Peak team has great marketing. I really liked it and their new launch will be a great success I'm sure.
Myself, I prefer more standard calls that our industry has been working on for some time but it isn't a material difference. I do think that their tools are more limited than those of 20 years ago and their basic architecture is 30 years old or more for the most part. Why shouldn't we call it a new new thing - everyone else rehashes old technology into new all the time?
Myself, I would think that a combined programming model would be much stronger. After all, they have one multiprocessor application - why not make it all multi-threaded too and have the benefits of being able to program and debug on the underlying processors if requried? Why guess when it doesn't work - go and look (debugging rule number 6)? The dynamic allocation strategies and dynamic compiling (the new part) make this a bit tricky, but it should be possible.
I think that this will work well for many applications but we all really need some new thinking in the programming area. For real-time systems it seems much too limited in this form.
