I'll start with the following list of extremely helpful libraries developed by Andrew:
Basic4ppc community is a very friendly and helpful community. I want to thank Andrew which I can say without fear nor doubts that this is first of all thanks to him.
Andrew is a gifted programmer with deep knowledge in many fields and with endless patience and good will.
Thank you :icon_clap: :sign0098:
Edit: while writing this post, agraham has uploaded another library
Andrew - let me say with all respect this is an honour to me to be a part of the same community where you are - endless patience to help people and to guide new users is a gift not many of us have. Congratulations!
Oh, so modest....
just kidding...
"Ask, and you shall be answered", this is your way of beeing in our communitie...
Thank you Andrew, in the name of all newbies, and in the name of all "experts" too
My deepest thank to Andrew and congratulations :sign0060:
Every time I need a solution I find a lib and/or post from Andrew and they are soooooooooooooooooooo helpful.
In this post is the first time I've really seen the :sign0102: smilie used. However, I think if it said 'You're King' it would probably been worn out by now.
A sincere and genuine Thank You for the help you have given me in my programming.
The most iconic, and probably the most famous, supercomputer ever built, the Cray-1.
Seymour Cray once said that Cray weren't so much computer designers as refrigeration engineers. The bench seats house the power supplies, not the cooling as some descriptions have it. The cooling was a massive installation much bigger than the machine and was located out of sight away from the computer room. The Cray software research centre in Minnesota was built without heating - in winter they used the waste heat output from their Cray-1 machines to heat the building.
It was roughly organised as a set of bit planes vertically, so it was literally 64 bits high! The propagation delay of electrical signals (5 nanoseconds per metre in copper) was a limitation on the machines' speed as it had a cycle time of 12.5 nS. Op-code execution rippled circularly round the machine and as it could overlap operations several "wavefronts" could be circulating at the same time.
