Will OS4 have SMP after all

[bloodline]

Yeah, but you routinely keep ignoring the point that the OS calls don't need to going through interpretation.

What you are talking about is less efficient.

I know it is less efficient, but the idea is that it is only to run a few old apps and you get the bonus of all our old hardware hitting software working too (which you don't get with the AOS4/MOS system).

As a user running AROS on a 8Gig 3Ghz+ multicore computer, you are probably going not going to worry that it's slightly less efficient... But is more compatible

[bloodline]

Well, with AOS4 Classic you do because the hardware is there.

That's a little off topic, AOS4 classic is never going to have SMP

[bloodline]

There's nothing to stop an opensource OS that is yet to be written from running on the BPPC and farming out 68k processes to the onboard 060 though.

The the CPUs in question are not identical, then that's not SMP

A clone of Trance with seamless byte-swapping would be nice.  Shame Emumiga never got off the ground.

I know, I really liked the whole Emumiga concept, but it was a complex idea... I had a look at resurrecting it myself, but it was out of my league... Especially with how little time I had.

Just kicking around a few ideas early this morning... and It struck me that perhaps the Emumiga project started too high?

It was three ideas in one... A 68K emulator, A byte swapping thunking layer, and an App to AROS bridging layer...

I wonder if this could be done more simply... hmmm... off to AROS-exec.org I go
