It was decided that the rate for 8-bit INT, 10-bit INT, 16-bit INT, and float16 would all be the same compared to the X1K series, which supported float unfiltered with filtering done in the shader for the LOD computations first....

It performs the 1980s equivalent of yanking the stop chain on a public subway car, triggering assembly-language interrupt routines by setting registers called traps, which still have hexadecimal names like INT 13h and INT 19h. Since the introduction of EIDE in 1986, special INT 13h service routines have used mathematical tricks to translate linear LBA addresses into "head/sector/cylinder" coordinates that appear to apply to a hard drive with less than 2.8 GB capacity, no matter how large it actually is....

Our engineer quickly integrated and tested the following iDCT modules with Flask: FastIDCT MMX - Flask's original FastIDCT Int - Flask's original AP-945 FastIDCT SSE2 - this is the Vec-class version. The system is a 1.5 GHz Win98SE. iDCT Module Time,m:s ============================ 1: FastIDCT MMX 1:28 2: FastIDCT Int 1:39 3: AP-945 FastIDCT SSE2 1:24 4: IEEE1180 SSE2/SP 1:35 5: IEEE1180 SSE2/DP 1:45 6: IEEE1180 x87i 2:34 ============================ The new version was compiled with different compiler options....
