CrayCore / News: Recent posts

CrayCore version .3 has been released, in two packages, a source.zip, and a win32 binary. New features include light memory support, vector support, and many more opcodes. Be sure to check OpcodesTwo.txt, included with both packages for status on which instructions are implemented, and how to use them.

CrayCore version .2, using the newer, more efficient CpuTwo core, has officially been released. This version has a few more opcodes implemented than version .1x, and also has some pretty significant speed improvements.

Expected features for .3 include: Vector support, and a new user interface.

The version currently in CVS (planned to be released near the end of the month) currently builds and functions on NetBSD 1.6.2 STABLE, using the builtin gcc 2.95.3, with only one small change to CCore.h. Currently CrayCore has not been tested on other *nix systems, but is presumed working.

Due to a combination of computer and real life issues, I am afraid I have not had the time to work on CrayCore, and as such, pretty much all development has come to a halt. I am hoping that things should resolve themselves and the next release will be available by the end of August.

A new version should be out by the end of the month, using the CpuTwo backend instead of CpuExec. While this version will likely not have many new features, it should be faster than the older version, and should be supported by more compilers.
