Benno Sennoner and I were discussing today on IRC about
the usual fixed point vs floating point (regarding to some resampling code)
We developed some tests and ran them on a variety of computers.
It would be interesting if ladders here could run them on different computers
(and specially non x86, l

Yep Taybin is right, AMD64 and IA64 (Itanium) instruction sets are

Hallo,
today the IRCAM Resonances festival started. I don't know how many of
these concerts will be done with Linux (maybe none...) but there are
several Pd sessions, so they at least *could* be done on Linux. Below
is the announcement as posted by Guillaume Boutard on pd-list. Beware,
that there

I know the Intel C++ compiler isn't free software (you
can get it free as in beer to compile open source
apps, though), but it's avail for Itanium.. I don't
know how well it works with AMD's stuff. It's my
compiler of choice.

I've been running SuSE since 7.

Hi all,
This is not a release of any new code; it's just a trivial compilation
fix for the 0.3 tree:
* fixed a missing #include

Anyone have any insights on the possible performance improvements with that
perspective?
I've heard the Athlon64 has lots of registers, lots of cache, more pipelines
and, well, it's 64bit, it sure
