Basically, there are two approaches to emulation: high-level emulation (HLE) and low-level emulation (LLE).

High-level emulation basically...

In fact, MS Office for Mac *cannot* read ODF, which I was very annoyed to discover....

AFAIK the stated goal of DragonflyBSD is to support clustering at a kernel level, so in kernel, I think....

[TechMage89]

My understanding is that HAMMER2 is supposed to be a clustered filesystem, so it provides similar features to GlusterFS or Ceph as well as ZFS and Btrfs....

Android devices support Opus natively as of Lollipop (see http://developer.android.com/about/v.../lollipop.html and http://developer.android.com/...

Yeah, maybe on paper. In practice, NVIDIA's OpenCL implementation still only supports OpenCL 1.1, and has plenty of longstanding bugs and limitations...

That shows C++11 thread support, nothing about C11...

Not at all. More like OpenCL, except based on C++11, with inline kernel definitions (as lambdas). It's somewhat similar to SyCL, actually....

[TechMage89]

Because it's the only really portable API to take advantage of GPUs and accelerators? What are you suggesting people use instead?...

[TechMage89]

DragonFlyBSD is pretty much entirely about servers and clustering. Very interesting work, and potentially useful, but just about as far from graphics...

AFAIK this is highly hardware-dependant and would require driver support, which doesn't (again, AFAIK) exist yet.

It's also noteworthy...

Because of its simplicity, portability, and clean code, NetBSD is used heavily in embedded development. Pretty much any Apple embedded device (Time Capsule,...

My guess is that means that the front-end code is done and works on a reference implementation (softpipe or llvmpipe). Probably a bit more work needs...

The xlib backend rasterizes on the CPU, but uses the GPU (via XRender and EXA) for filling, copying, and compositing (which tend to be more frequent operations)....

Maybe Mechwarrior 3 will finally be playable now?

I love it when games that no longer work properly on modern versions of Windows run without...
