That sounds rather odd since you are the Team Leader for AOS4.Sort like being some-what pregnant. Since Hyperion is a professional OS company that's been around for what, nearly two decades, I would expect to hear exact terminology that is used by industrial professionals around the world. It's only what, two people in that company, it's not like some marketing weasels were running their mouth before asking software engineering department if that is indeed possible and within the product's roadmap.The A1X1K has been out for a significant period of time now. IIRC, the explicit reason for picking that CPU was to create a platform for SMP development of OS4 nearly 4 years ago (late 2009 for prototypes). That's a long time IMO, so I don't see the "suddenly" apply to a question about the current status of SMP in OS4, more like just remembering something said long ago.BTW Steve, will you be at AmiWest this year?
I never promised any such demo.
I call myself the AmigaOS Development Team Lead for AmigaOS.
Why does it have to be AROS related? Maybe is Morphos related?
tim,to go off-topic a bit, you planning on making it to amiwest this year along with dammy? at somepoint next month i should start a thread on here so folks interested in coming can talk about it.-- eliyahu
there usually is, at least for the presentations. last year was really tough because the internet access at the location was glacially slow. in previous years i've given a play-by-play of the keynotes on IRC if the video stream was down. a few days before the show, someone will post info on the video/audio streams.oh, and everyone is allowed at amiwest. it's a lot of fun. even bill mcewen is welcome. :lol:-- eliyahu
Oh that would be great news.
bernd meyer? is he cooking something too? thats news, also i thought spilling the beans is disencouraged.
We have ways of making you talk ... :hammer: :rtfm: :roflmao:
Damn you :lol:I really wish I knew what Bernd has to show but I guessI can wait a little bit more
forbid() is part of the exec.library API, and loads of Amiga software uses it as it is a quick and simple way of locking a resource and making sure your operation is atomic... But for a while now, AROS devs have been encouraged to use alternative locking methods that don't freeze the system.Also there is no issue with AROS 68k or any other AROS port if AROS gets a working SMP implementation, if the system only have one CPU it will work just as AROS/AmigaOS does now... And key to any implementation is that is doesn't break older software anyway (even if that means the older software might be slowing down the newer software, if that is an issue, don't run the older software or rewrite it to take advantage of the newer systems).
Earlier you complained about AROS using UAE as a virtual machine, because of the fact that it would keep the 68k and native environments separate. But now you talk about the QBox, which would be a separate environment from the ABox (what you currently know as MorphOS)... There would be no mixing of environments if the morphOS guys ever decide to develop the QBox side with a user space...
Troll! :razz:Everyone knows OS4 is the holy grail of modern computing, you Commie Terrorist!
UAE on AROS and native AROS apps shared a graphical user interface too... That was kind of the point The advantage of the 68k emulation in AOS4 and MOS is that the 68k and PPC apps live in the same environment and can share libraries etc... It is only possible because the 68K and PPC are big endien... I don't think you realise that the AROS UAE integration is supposed to be pretty seamless to the user... You might never know UAE is actually running!!
