    The name should be not more than two syllables to keep it "punchy".

    How about OCOR or OCCOR ?

    Cheers,

    ROCC - Realtime Octal Core Controller (I still think we need to emphasize the realtime I/O nature of the P2).
  • TubularTubular Posts: 4,702
    yes, apart from the programming language the i/o flexibility is the unique bit

    ROCC a nice ring to it. - be nice to also get the Smart Pins into there too ?
    Google finds a 'ROCC Computers Ltd' in UK, a software company, so Parallax space may be far enough removed from that, to not confuse anyone.

    There is nothing preventing Parallax from pulling P1 into this (re)branding exercise, so you can get something like

    ROCC-1 First generation Realtime Octal Core Controller 32k memory, 80MHz.

    ROCC-2S Second generation Realtime Octal Core Controller 512k memory, 64 x Smart Pin Cells, 160MHz.

    At least in English we can make up new words. I realized that in Spanish, to do so offends people's sensibilities. That's why Mexican restaurants and food brands reuse a limited set of words.

    The Signal Whisperer

    I still like XBOSS, just for the implied superiority.

    The Signal Whisperer is more a name for a example product, sold by Parallax, not the chip itself.

    The ROCC out of Rocklin, CA has some ring to it, and rebranding the Propeller as ROCC-1 {compatible to and replacing p8x32a-xx} might even get some more new attention for the P1 sorry ROCC-1. Just laser a different logo on the P1 and done.

    Carmakers sell the same car under different names and brands, Parallax could do that also. The ROCC-1 is 100 percent compatible to the P1, Parallax can stand fully behind that statement...

    And Marketing is happy, they can sell a family of "Realtime Octal Core Controller"s, so the customer can choose....

    I still think the smartpins belong in there but using SMART as name calling for more trouble as using XBOSS.

    P2 still reigns supreme, IMO. It's simple, concise, and has potential brand recognition, given an adequate marketing effort.

    ROFLOL, Honestly, I don't care what it's called as long as I can buy one, and I hope to be buying a lot more than one.

    but I do like Signal Whisperer... conveys an aura of mystery

    "Vanity of vanities; all is vanity... There is nothing new under the sun... except for this chip, maybe. All your labors will eventually be forgotten, but this might be a good way to spend your time, for now."

    Or, some similarly rousing appeal.

    Yeah, I'm stuck in the R-vein. Hmm, "Paradigm" is a nice word and works with P2 (and overlaps with PARAllax).

    "Rethink"

    PROPER = "PROPeller Exstensively Rethinked" :wink:

    Ok, let's try something exotic:

    TARIKA (tah-ree-kya) = "group; band" (as in "music ensemble")
    MAROSAINA (mah-roo-say-nah) = "many brains"
    VALOMANANA (vah-loo-mah-nah-nah) = "has eight of them" (which incidentally is the last name of 4th President of Madagascar :lol:)

    nah, too long... ok I got it:

    MIRAY (mee-rah-ee) = "to be united; to be of one mind; many to be like one"

    p.s. sorry for the annoying "ah" in phonetics, I don't know how else to transcribe it... it's like A in italian.

    LR 8C: Logic Reimagined

    So you have a Series of new chip + the variant + tag line.
  • wmosscropwmosscrop Posts: 409
    To me, one of the best features of the new design is that it's much easier to share data between cogs.

    In effect, they mesh well.

    Car transmissions have synchromesh.

    Why not call it the Parallax HyperMesh P2?

    Oh wait, someone already trademarked HyperMesh. Ironically a company named Altair.

    Or some other variation of *Mesh, I'm sure someone can some up with something clever and unique.

    You might call it "P2-8", just in case you actually do make them with less (or maybe more) cores...

    Or, maybe "P2*8"...
  • T ChapT Chap Posts: 4,223
    Mesh is often used in networking schemes. It is amazing how many “great ideas” I get for a processor name only to put it in google xxxxx microprocessor and see it already exists as a microprocessor.

    Here's one you have thought of - PROP - Parallax Realtime Octal Processor :)

    So that would make the 4-core version the PRQP and the sixteen core version the PRHP.

    Greek and Zodiac names are always good (but over used) - Venus, Apollo, Gemini, Saturn, Pegasus, Delta, Astro, Magnum, Pearl, Obi Wan (!), Zeppelin, Pandora, Cosmo, Olympia, and many more... Initials are OK (just OK) - No one knows what the letters stand for. Made up names are catchy, but not good - They are seen as "cute" so not a good fit for a professional product.

    Be careful with the use of "8." In the MCU world, that usually implies eight bits.

    It doesn't matter what name you give it, everyone will always refer to it as the P2.
  • Tracy AllenTracy Allen Posts: 6,664
    Call it P2, but make it look like P squared. Suggests power, not strictly linear.
    Psquared.png

    So-what numerology: "P" is the sixteenth letter of the English alphabet, squared that is 256. It is the 80th ascii character, squared, 6400.

    I think the Phantom Eight Core is appropriate.
