ptc & pixeltoaster demo's
category: general [glöplog]
awesome ideas for the next generation of pixeltoaster, in say 10 years - multispectrum, double-precision floating point
its so crazy it just might work... ;)

Gaffer fixes everything !
Then it will run smoothly when intel will release their 80-core multiprocessors (not so many years left).
Best props.

pailes: isn't this a forum? :)
I think its more like "it will run smoothly when Intel fixes his bandwith problems"..
more like, pixeltoaster is a forward looking library - designed for the next 10 years, not this year and what can be supported
if you want to use 10.10.10 integer format or whatever, go ahead i aint stopping you :)
but in 5 years, people will be using floating point formats near exclusively, just like nobody uses 16bit color for framebuffer these days, but they did back when original PTC was coded (1996!)

imagine the future: floating point buffers/bitmaps at OS level, and the hardware/OS doing the tone-mapping (with setting in the display control panel) to 10/12/16 bit before sending to the DVI.... grrrrr..........
... and people coding sine scrollers and rasterbars with them :)
... and yet kewlers will SUCK!
Gaffer, what a surprise you writing here! I just want to tell you I love you! :P
ahaha the old australian Fagger is back :) \o/
