i could not find any info about it 16:38:53 crc: you got a chromebook ? 16:39:27 yiyus: it handles online media.. the mediaplayer is the browser :P 16:42:30 foucist: everybody has offline music too, google said they would release a media player integrated with chrome at some point, but have not hear any news for a while 16:42:49 ah 16:44:26 yiyus: I didn't see any media player on it 16:44:34 foucist: yes; it showed up today 16:57:40 crc: nice, got lucky eh? just signed up for it and won the lottery? 16:58:21 I signed up in december; I didn't expect to see one at this point 17:48:48 cool 18:11:22 crc: ever look at cuda or gpu stuff? 18:11:43 nope 18:11:46 might be awesome to use forth for distributed computing type applications 18:11:55 parallel stuff 18:11:59 bitcoin mining ;) 18:12:22 crc: what sort of video card do you have in your computers? 18:12:30 docl & i have been looking at bitcoin mining 18:12:47 trying to analyze if its worth doing (breakeven or profit) 18:13:16 for fun mostly :P 18:14:22 foucist: intel gma 950 on the mac mini 18:16:05 crc: ah, same crappy builtin card that i have :P 18:16:07 my other computers are a rooted nook color, and the cr-48 laptop that arrived today 18:16:12 so no help from those 18:16:16 :P 18:17:11 crc: it's interesting because GPUs are hugely powerful compared to CPUs nowadays, they have thousands of stream processors, they're extremely good at parallelizable stuff.. 18:17:22 so it's like a personal supercomputer 18:17:37 and cheap as heck to build a rig that's specialized at that 18:18:33 I have other needs that are more pressing (bigger vehicle) at present 18:18:47 i was recently looking up prices for parts etc, and i came up with a rig that costs just $542 and has 2x radeon 5850s.. each having 1440 stream processors 18:29:04 --- join: roarde (~roarde@pdpc/supporter/active/sixforty) joined #retro 18:31:46 it actually works out to some 900 GFLOPS apparently or more than 4 teraflops? 18:31:51 anyways it's fast 18:33:00 foucist: in ruby, is there a way to detect whether a script is running under ruby 1.8 or 1.9? 18:34:09 definitely, i don't know it off the top of my head tho 18:35:03 ok, I'll keep looking :) 18:35:09 RUBY_VERSION # Result: "1.8.5" 18:35:15 just check that constant 18:35:26 RUBY_VERSION.split('.') # Result: ["1", "8", "5"] 18:38:05 that works. now I'll be able to get retro.rb running under 1.8 and 1.9 18:43:58 done 18:51:30 coolio 18:52:09 crc: so you been coding in ruby eh? how do you like it :P 18:52:24 do you see similarities between forth and ruby? 18:52:27 with the OO chaining 18:54:06 yes 18:54:57 i wonder how easy it would be to implement a ruby-like lang ontop of forth 18:55:05 get the readability of ruby & the power of forth.. 19:04:43 crc: what do you think? 80-20 rule? :P 19:05:01 possible to get 80% of a ruby-like lang ontop of forth? worht it? maybe.. :P readability ftw :P 19:08:00 foucist: maybe crc can write a more efficient mining program in forth for the GPU :) 19:09:31 docl: i totally was thinking of that.. :P 19:10:00 not sure how interested in crc would be but maybe i could donate a gpu card or something.. :P 19:14:08 --- quit: roarde (Quit: Leaving.) 19:33:04 I'd need to study parallel programming first 19:36:47 --- join: roarde (~roarde@pdpc/supporter/active/sixforty) joined #retro 20:00:17 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing 20:24:29 interesting reading 20:24:46 where's the repo for corpse? 20:27:58 playground 20:28:08 rx-core.org 20:28:10 thanks 20:41:26 crc: if you were interested OpenCL is probably the place to look (probably don't need to worry about CUDA as that's nvidia specific) 20:41:43 crc: sounds like OpenCL is very much like assembler as well (a readable form of it) 20:41:49 http://www.streamcomputing.nl/blog/2010-07-22/the-rise-of-the-gpgpu-compilers 20:42:15 hmm 20:42:35 dunno if there's any point in porting forth to that.. 20:42:51 i wonder what colorforth does about the multi-cores 20:44:36 AFAIK, nothing at all. It's a "work in [little or no] progress". 20:45:00 ok, I'll pretend they're keeping it secret. yeah, that's it. 20:46:25 Seeing as one of their most active "associates" is a linux user, and we're advised to run cf under wine, well, I'm not holding my breath for a good threader. 20:46:40 OK, I am holding my breath.
