09:29:54 * crc has added cfa's ANS implementation of the ngaro vm to the repository
09:34:56 <crc> I also updated the benchmarks chart at https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0ArQ9snhGsa7HdHpubXdRTFZEbDNoR2RuY0kwc21tbFE&output=html to cover the implementation in the repository. Performs quite well.

16:50:27 <foucist> would be nice if gcc could distribute it's computation to the GPU
16:50:37 <foucist> like how it distributes the crunching with distcc
16:51:37 <roarde> foucist: is the count for "allot" in cells?
16:52:13 <foucist> ?
16:52:27 <foucist> i'm not familiar with retro
16:52:38 <roarde> ah. thanks anyway
16:52:52 <foucist> sorry
16:53:11 <crc> roarde: yes
16:53:18 <roarde> thanks, crc
16:53:36 <crc> at least for retro; it'd be for bytes/chars in other forths iirc
17:06:11 <roarde> in those cases, isn't it usually char=byte=cell?
17:06:40 <crc> cells are generally either 4 or 8 bytes, chars and bytes are normally identical.
17:07:24 <crc> retro differs in that the memory is only directly addressable in 32-bit cells, so char=byte=cell is valid in retro, but not in a traditional forth
17:08:33 <roarde> ok. no idea why a cell would be 8 chars, tho
17:08:49 <crc> sometimes, on 64-bit machines :)
17:14:23 * crc recalls reading about a forth for sparc based machines that had 64-bit cells
17:56:41 <crc> I committed an updated ans forth implementation of retro's vm with support for "include" and "needs" (from cfa)

23:51:07 <embedded> Hi there

23:53:57 <jdp> is the standard retro cell cize always 4 bytes?
23:55:08 <cfa> "The retroImage is a flat binary array of signed, 32-bit, little endian, integers."
