I have news that Elena Novaretti, author of good software programs such as ZoneXplorer and Power Icons (and a known Pegasos fan and owner) is also present at Webbit Padova with a Pegasos II kindly furnished by Pegasos Italia just for the exhibition event.
We expect soon impressions of Webbit show from Elena, and news about the impact which Peggy II made to italian public.
Wow!!!
After 10 years of absence to important events here in Italy, two Amiga based platforms are there!
More! I have news that the booth by Virtual Works, Ikir Sector, Soft3, Bitplane (with partecipation by Eyetech, ZetaOS and Cloanto people) IS A DOUBLE-SIZE booth.
Very impressive.
And more, seems that (basing upon Ikir statements on the web), there are two Pegasos at Amiga booth...
Amiga has a Very Very strong presence and a lots of opportunities to impact the public at Webbit Italy.
Good news for our beloved platform.

Elena Novaretti (ZoneXplorer - PowerIcons) is present with a Peggy II at WEBBIT : Comment 29 of 49 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kjetil on 09-May-2004 09:19 GMT | In reply to Comment 20 (Kronos): SW written for AOS does write into unallocated memory (every SW has bugs), and sometimes they are even supposed to write into system-structures. Making that imposssible, and thereby protecting kernel and apps from eachother is the whole point of MP. 99% of all old apps will fatally fail the second your put MP over the kernel and it's structures.
if every SW has bugs the AmigaOS will crash the instance you turn on your computer, if you cybergouard, you will se that not every task will create enforced hits,
Yeah, and what has this to do with the number of abstraction-layers involved ?
every thing uses CPU, and thats my point, don't add layers on layers on layers, unless you have no other option.
Lets see, the exec-wrapper and all old apps are within that box, so lots of inter-task-communication can be done without switching back to quark. But lets assume it would happen 100 times per secound and each switch would take 100 cycles. Thats 100.000 cycles on a CPU that just made atleast 600.000.000 cycles ...
if it can be avoided do not implement it.
It will eat cycles while it is monitoring wether a access to a "moved" mem-area is happening. It will eat cycles rerouting those acceses to the physical address, and no this does not just happen when something illegal happens (just read for what they want to use the MMU).
they are going to use it for security, virtualmemory and jit.
the number of times en exception is triggered depends, on the amount of memory free,
on the event of jit it will only happen when the jit compiler detects 68k program code, (converted code will not trigger exceptions)
on the event of security when a program writes to unallocated memory area, or try to hack the kernel (MCP, OXYpatcher, SetPatch).
And what has this to do with the kernel they run the SW ?
comment 14: where directed as comment on an other subject inn replay to Anonymous.
Noone cares (and noone should care) about your impression.
I think users of the forums are interested inn what other users inn the forum thing, thats my impression. |
