| Positive news.
The best way to advance AmigaOS, its third party applications and its hardware is by direct financial support . Last edited by Spectre660 on 24-Feb-2012 at 05:49 PM.

| I love the simplicity and the effectiveness of BB2, maybe an example could be shown of the limitations of the method, by teh simple procedure of adding more polygons until the screen update rate falls below the VBL rate?
Another hopefully occuting method, looking through the source code showed an awful lot of Quaternion roatation mathematics, which I would hope would have single command equivalents in thePA6T extension blocks, and even more so on teh various GPUs plugged into it.
As such, can it be possible, like mathsingbas, mathdoubbas, mathsingtrans, mathdoubtrans, and the FPU specific versions of these OS central program called libraries, could the mathquaternion.library be created, so that Arexx could ustelise it with calls, so that as the OS boots up on suitably equipped hardawre, it sets up a call list of hardware supported functions, with default fallback to software derived functions on hardware, driver faliure?
How much more efficient can a GPU be with massively parrallel multithreaded code resuse Amiga style, instead of wintel single thread on a single core enforcement?

| Really great news. This makes me wondering something, wouldn't be possible to create sort of bounty so that community can help Trevor for the financing. I think that collecting money to pay full time developer could be more efficient for AmigaOS software development. The problem with the actual bounty system is that this is hobby projects. This is not a critic but the problem of hobby project is that they directly depend of the free time of the people and it is making the progress generally slow. Again, it's not a critic, and it's still better than nothing but maybe we could imagine a system where we finance full time developpers like in Haiku community.
Already discussed there but what Trevor is doing for Hans could be supported by community as well. |
