    Wouldn't this require at least R500 support as well as FireStream/OpenCL support in MorphOS?

    Aww! Spoil-sport. :-)

    (Thanks for the link though, good to know the threshold for such things.)

    On a related note, I'd be far more interested to see some GPU acceleration rather than any multi-core/cpu implementation.
    Multiple cores/cpus (in idealised terms) can multiply effectiveness linearly with increased number. Offloading eg vector/matrix operations to a GPU would make far more of a difference.

    Probably mixed up words and it should rather read JIT-JS.
    Literally very different beasts, but both (whatever hardware accelerated JS)would be) are synonymous for a major speed increase. At least that's how my error correction mode reads that...

    Note that only RC5-72 contest is GPU accelerated. There is no GPU accelerated OGR core for any system.

    would be great but is very unlikely. Unless you know someone working at VMware to port it in private (which he is most probably not allowed to). Even Virtual Box would be great but almost as unlikely.

    Now, isn't vmware available for Linux, is it not open source?

    BTW. VMWare for PPC is a virtualization solution, and no "emulator". So it won't bring any OS to a MorphOS system which doesn't already run native.

    Is there even a PPC version?

    I must admit, this was actually the statement I originally wanted to give. Neither is it possible on current MorphOS systems to run VMWare nor will it give any advantage regarding the proposed usage.

    Too bad... Can we at least get a port of WINE, so that we could have access to the vast library of PowerPC native Windows software? :-P

    but virtualized which means in parallel which would be a benefit indeed.

    No stink, but a port of VMWare is not possible with the current architecture.

    QEMU might be possible, since it also emulates several CPU architecture. Nevertheless, a x86 emulation is very demanding for the PPC...
