Changing the color of objects/primitives only ? (flat shading...) (massive parallel lookup hardware idea...) (See below for "massive parallel lookup hardware idea, inspired by the old vga cards") (The idea is: instead of writing lookups to the graphics card/video memory/monitor... the lookups become available to the cpu/applications). There might be a way to do what I want with performance benefits all over... Open... 29 Jul 2010 03:09
Redbook on the new z196 mainframes. <http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg247833.pdf> Rather impressive. It is not many years ago that Z-systems lagged POWER badly. Briefly: 5.2 GHz OoO, hints at POWER4 like 5 instruction grouping up to 3 instructions decode per clock up to 5 instruction dispatch to functional units per clock 128 KB... 4 Aug 2010 05:59

What will Microsoft use its ARM license for? Will Microsofts design an ARM processor? If so, what operating system will it be intended for? What architectural features would Microsoft be looking for in its own ARM processor? Is the main purpose to be infull control over the next ARM version "ARMv8"? By the way, what characteristics does the Apple ARM Cor... 13 Aug 2010 03:49
