I bet the dsp card manufacturers will move in this direction and if/when they do, things can get really interesting. IMHO the way the near future is looking, it seems like you won't be able to go wrong with any platform native or otherwise. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...cell+processor |
Good video. The interviewer was a bit clueless but I was amazed at
the 720p raycasting of Mt St Helens. I can only imagine what
improvements will be made with further process shrinks and core
changes. The very little that I do know about Cell is that the
Synergistic Processor Elements (SPE) are simplified as compared to the
modern day general microprocessor but they are total BEAST when it
comes to handling the stuff that makes modern day procs struggle.
I guess I'll need to find out how Cell could integrate with today's
general purpose CPU for a powerhouse tandem.
OT- I send you a friend request. Impressive music I'd like to support
you. Hope you don't mind

hopefully it wont look like final cut pro or soundtrack and DVD studio pro , all that greyish look , its soooo 2002   eh
(PD im joking, some guy at logicprohelp.com got really pissed when i said the new name of logic pro will be garbageband pro) |
LOL I saw that. Man he must have had a bad day.
