Here is a quick small asm hack I made to the radeon r600_shader.c file in mesa. Note it is only two instructions. It sure beats doing a loop with a test in the middle. lets see if you can get a c...

I didn't suggest that windows 8 be written in assembly, just abandon the crappy of philosophy ease of development far out weighs all other considerations. Hell if they would just abandon the use of...

I'm working on a patch but it needs more testing and verification before I release it.

Thanks for the tip.

Your end user may differ in opinion. Especially when they are the ones that have to wait for it and pay for the hardware to store and run it. Take a look at Microsoft's Surface where half of the...

I have never encountered one. Can you show me one that can? (GCC can't)

I know that they can't do the tricks on returning more than one variable because it violates the C spec and will clobber...

You can do several things in assembler faster than you can in C for one main reason, you are not constrained by C's rules. For example in x86 assembler you can determine which of 4 values you have...

If it wasn't a problem then why are people trying to fix it?

Of course this does nothing to to fix the problem of people writing wayland native apps that you can't run remotely.

Great... this is all that we need. Lets encourage people to make apps that can't be run remotely.

This paper might be interesting for people involved in OpenCL for single precision GPUs. Its about using single precision math in a GPU to get a close answer and then using double precision in the...

I do believe I have offended my first twilight fan. :D

I was hopping to get enough signatures (150 of them) by april 1st to at least get the petition past the 1st signature threshold. That would allow it to be listed as an active recent petition on the...

Thanks for your support. :)

We have a total of 11 signatures. Only 24,989 to go.

Just imagine Wesley Snipes as Blade slicing up the twilight wimpy goth vampires.

I hope we can get 25,000 signatures on this petition by April 1st.

I know a few people that run Ubuntu on PPC to do embedded development on (Of course they know how to recompile their kernels and most do for performance reasons). If Ubuntu doesn't want to support a...

Remote User,

Don't let Vincent get to you. He is just a hack that believes in building a house on a foundation of sand is a good thing because you get out of the rain quicker.

Hurray for the X developers. This is the proper way to advance, setting requirements, looking at user needs, backwards compatibility, discussion of options and new features, and most of all planning....

If your going to compile your own you will want to compile and optimize it for your processor. (Note GCC auto detect doesn't detect all processor instruction sets on all processors and doesn't set...

Why do people gripe about Ubuntu's speed? Its not a fast distro and was never meant to be, its one that is easy to use.

If you want speed you have to

1) Compile your own kernel and optimize...

Yes Germany may export 4MWh of energy but they may still import 20MWh. Its common for countries to exchange power back and forth so just exporting 4MWh is meaningless. You see statistics showing both...
