Dualcore? Bah, get a real PC :-)

[Dan]

PC=Personal Cluster that is.

But it only has a Mobility Radeon 9000 so I don´t think it will run Doom3 to good. :lol:

Up to four DS-96's can be combined into a single cluster, Orion says.

But you probably need a new desk to support the 600lbs. :-)

And where is the laptop version?

[Dan]

And it can run AROS! :-D

[Dan]

it would run AROS-hosted just as well as any 1.2GHz Transmeta since it runs linux.

The DS-96 also includes a head node with a DVD/CD-RW, USB port, Gigabit Ethernet port, a single 2.5-inch hard drive, and an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 with 64MB of integrated DDR video RAM.

I didn´t say it would make use of the cluster did I?

[Dan]

It depends on threading and stuff. But you could run 90 UAE sessions simultaneous. :lol:

It´s like Amiga4Ever on top of Windows, the faster the pc, the faster Amiga4Ever runs  :lol:

UAE on dualcores will be interesting, one core to do all the linux/windows stuff and using the other just to run uae.
Maybe that could be used for future improved 68k-compability in AROS?

A dual-core box won't be much different from a dual processor box; however, the cores will share the same front-side bus.

Except price(dual processor is only affordable with PIIIs)

UAE and other processes don't need to know anything about the underlying system.

Thats a job for the OS isn´t it?

If UAE is written to support parallel processing

Doubt it.

--in the JIT compiler and other emulation bits--then the operating system will automatically use the first available execution unit. If UAE runs everything synchronously, then it won't see a speed improvement at all due to multiple cores.

Isn´t there any OS where you can decide over the task/process scheduler and command it like "UAE and all it´s subprocesses runs on this cpu and everything else runs on that cpu" wouldn´t that improve speed? :-?
