Hi, <br><br>will the GTA03 have a FPU?<br><br>The reason I'm wondering is because of, well, it sucks if it doesn't.. We all<br>want to run all available standard Linux apps on this thing, but many applications<br>_require_ floating point math, especially for graphics! I've been working<br>
a lot (a lot meaning, whenever I don't have to take care of my "real" job, and<br>my family.. :-P) on my program "SATAN" and I got pretty good performance<br>out of it now.. The problem though is that it is GTK- and Cairo-based and that<br>
these libraries use floats quite extensively.. This really hurts performance<br>on the OpenMoko and makes the application feel really sluggish when you<br>want to interact with the GUI. I haven't done any real benchmarks, but I do<br>
know that the floating point version of SATAN is totally UNUSABLE on the<br>OpenMoko, but the fixed-point math version works "OK" (except the GUI then..).<br><br> Best regards<br> Anton<br>
