We met with this group here in Santa Clara.  They hosted Ingo Wald as an
intern at one point, and I think Andreas Dietrich as well, so they are very
familiar with the Slusallek group and their technology.  I'd like to get
them to join the Manta effort, rather than being a competitor, although they
were a bit sensitive to their efforts making their way onto Opterons and
other processors.
