Is there a way Blitz3D can take advantage of multiple processors and 64-bit versions of windows? |
| ||
No. |
| ||
Um. yes. right click blitz, go to properties, and tell it to run under windows xp. |
| ||
multi core processor with dx 10 yada will only ever be single core dx7 in blitz3D's eyes max is different though |
| ||
Blitz3D no... BlitzMax yes (threaded mode) |
| ||
um. still yea. u can put the dx7 dlls in system32 then open it under winxp mode. |
| ||
wont give you dual/quad core support though vanilla blitz3D is stuck at dx7, havnt got vista or xp 64 so i dont know of any compatibility issues, but afaik its staying in its current state via brl. 3rd party libs can/might take it beyond, but ive never tried them |
| ||
my bro has xp64 and blitz works just fine on it. |
| ||
There's quite a big difference between "works just fine" and "takes advantage of". Blitz3D does not and currently can not "take advantage of multiple processors and 64-bit versions of windows", no matter how many times someone says "yea". |
| ||
Blitz3D no... BlitzMax yes (threaded mode) Blitz3D too ;) http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=83420 http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=84325 JP |

As ZJP shows it's definitely possible to multithread in Blitz3D, but good luck working out what you'd actually want that functionality for. |
| ||
lol |
| ||
You currently can't create 64 bit programs in any of the BRL languages, and supposedly there are no plans to add that in the foreseeable future either. |
| ||
Multithread in Blitz3D? Yes. Just. ;o) Multiple processors? No. ROFLMAO!!!!111 |
| ||
Multiple processors? No. With an another lib, it is possbile to choose an "specific" processor. Working on it. Ex : Thread 1 -> CPU1 Thread 2 -> CPU2 Thread X -> CPUx JP |
| ||
Okay, well in deference to your excellent work, I'll change it to "Not yet". :o) |
| ||
;) |

THERE IS A MEMORY RESTRICTION ON B3D!!!! Thats a problem too!!!!!!! |
