Hello,
We are currently searching people with a strong background in Embedded
System / PowerPC / Linux
We are asking your help to provide us some contacts.
We look forward to your answer,
Best Regards,

Where? How much background? Permanent or temporary? You need to supply
much more information than this.

Where => it will depend from various factors as we don't want too much
outsourcing the development ( SoC design ).
How much background : at least 3 years.
Permanent. It's for a very important project.
Best Regards,
Guillaume

1. Is the work in France? Would other locations in Europe be considered.
2. What product sector are we considering (some product sectors require
quite specialised knowledge).
3. Are you looking for one, two or perhaps a team of people.
We look forward to more detail.

Hello,
Let me introduce myself : Guillaume FORTAINE, French engineer in
informatics.
I would want to build a start up to sell mobile phones ( OEM Level ). I
am
currently in discussions with investors.
We are currently searching people with a strong background in
Embedded System / PowerPC / Linux
Our business model is in its early stage, but we would be interested
into a
break oppposite to the legacy one of our competitors who are nearly all
ARM based. Our choice is to use the PowerPC architecture : all the
challenge
is here, that's why we need people with a strong background... This
is a
very big project.
1) The HQ will be located in Germany but England is OK.
2) Mobile phones - Embedded multimedia
3) A team : we need neraly hudred engineers.
We would want to sign a contract with people ready for at least a one
year
full-time contract.
We look forward to your answer,
Best Regards,
Guillaume

This guy was sending out same mail but asking for ARM one week ago,
Believe this is some kind of scam.

I believe that you are dreaming, I never ask people for ARM based

A business model that justifies a switch to the PowerPC for mobile
phones would be an interesting read.

1)
I plan to use the bledding-edge stuff from IBM for the SoC design.
With their latest processor, they are finally able to play in the
embedded
market thanks to a competitive power consumption.
The supercalculator business and the embedded market are the same .
The power consumption is the main concern in the two cases.
Due to their experience with supercalculators, I bet on IBM 
I plan to use the fact that this is for IBM a "virgin territory" ( ARM
controls 76 % and the rest for MIPS and all ... ) so we will have the
possibility to make a great deal with this ( no prohibitive license
fees for
the processor and all ).
Why didn't the others do this ?
Others play *can't switch* to powerpc becaus of their contracts with
ARM that
block them during at least 5 years ( and all the other stuff : hardware
engineers that are not familiar with this architecture, soft developers
who
did various optimisations that will take an *huge* amount of time to
rewrite ... )
2)
Moreover, all the high-end mobiles from the other manufacturers are
using the
current technology to its limits ( copper wired). We will make a step
in the
future with optical interconnects ( no intermediate step with NoC )
.. So the investment will let us to see quietly the future and to save
much
money thanks to a clean integration of the various IP ( because every
IP has
a bus that need to be modified during the time and all => one bus with
the
highest data/rate and the lowest power consumption )
Why didn't the others do this ?
IBM and Intel are the only founders to control these technology that
was
primarily developed for high-end servers. ARM isn't involved in this
business
( they will be soon forced to switch due to the 45 nm limit ).
If you don't believe me :

Where is ARM ?

I meet your given qualifications of "a strong background in Embedded
System / PowerPC / Linux", not that you'd necessarily know that just
yet. However, I'm trying to establish whether I will choose to take
your solicitation further. To that end:

The same, how so? I'd think that the availability of space, a serving
power utility, and cooling to be the concern for a 'supercalculator'.
Most data processing centers should be able to easily handle the needs
of a Deep Blue (or its successors) as well as the needs of an embedded
system, whereas my trouser pocket is a more challenging environment.
It certainly lacks the space, power utility service, and cooling for a
'supercalculator'; an embedded system, on the other hand, it can
reasonably accommodate.
Are you saying that you're going to take the 'supercalculator',
incorporate it as a component of the SoC to replace many of the
function-specific components of a mobile phone? A software defined
radio for my trouser pocket? If so, you've piqued my interest.

Down at the bank depositing checks? ;-)

The mobile phone of tomorrow will be a "supercalculator". Moreover the
"pocket SDR" is already here ... :
