Orion_ Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I guest there's no way around Asm when it comes to the Jag. That's a reality I've finally come to except. Until someone writes a new C compiler for the Jag that utilizes the gpu main ram technique's the Frog and Atari Owl pioneered. by the way, does this technique is described somewhere ? so we can try to make a C compiler.

Inside the Frog's and Atari Owl's head. It's not out and out described but it seems there are a lot of clues given on how it works. Like you said, it will never be as fast as assembly. Probably best to mix them if a proper C compiler does see the light of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorf Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I guest there's no way around Asm when it comes to the Jag. That's a reality I've finally come to except. It's just the way it is. The asm is not at all difficult and it is fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont likely have an easy time of getting this to happen on a C compiler without all kinds of speacial features and functions to handle the main code. For now its asm plus the debugulator in the works will make RISC asm a breeze as you will be abel to see what every last register and flag in the risc is doing as it executes.
