I'm not sure there's anybody who cites fill rates who actually takes them seriously enough to have a use case that can actually do them.
<popolon>
ok while the fill rate remains the same
<ZaEarl>
sure, fill rate is a sort of upper-bound. best case senario.
<Gumboot>
Well, not even.
<Gumboot>
Do all of these pixels have to land in memory?
<Gumboot>
Because you can cull at a nearly unlimited rate.
<Gumboot>
But some people count culled pixels.
<Gumboot>
And then make up an arbitrary "reasonable" cull rate.
<Gumboot>
Then they all stand around talking about how all their competitors are probably using much more optimistic values.
<popolon>
:)
<Gumboot>
Then there are the triangles whose area rounds to zero, but technically is not zero.
<Gumboot>
But to make that fly you have to run it on an infinitely fast CPU with infinite memory bandwidth. But since that's somebody else's problem we just assume they've solved that part and make projections accordingly.
<Gumboot>
(actually, I've never seen that done)
<Turl>
the CIA has 'em
<Gumboot>
Yeah, if they'd just dedicate more of their resource to GLES benchmarks....
<Gumboot>
Maybe they do.
<popolon>
raspberry, as far I know, only demoed a teapot in opengl on their board
<Gumboot>
It's actually coloured a bit like a doughnut.
<Gumboot>
But there's no video!
<popolon>
??
<popolon>
which kind of video
<Gumboot>
Video like on a teapot.
<popolon>
ah, do you mean the version of teapot with video mapped on ?
<Gumboot>
I've disturbed myself a little, now. I can imagine a day in the future when you really can have video on your doughnuts.... and it'll be advertising.
<popolon>
:)
<Gumboot>
Yeah.
<popolon>
that was only a teapot with some texture
<popolon>
can't find it again
<Gumboot>
It's possible that only teapots can have video mapped onto them. Maybe it's impossible on other shapes.
<popolon>
^^
<popolon>
at they then can map 1080p on a rectangle
<popolon>
good night

Gumboot: Hmm video on donuts could be hard; stills on the top would be easy; perhaps something zoetrope like?
<L84Supper>
looks like the R-Pi has been having USB problems due to the poorly handled USB power
<Dandel_>
L84Supper: not that entirely... it's more that the power sources cannot give the R-Pi enough power often times
<L84Supper>
I haven't looked at the schematics yet but somebody posted that it's the polyfuses
<Dandel_>
L84Supper: The problem appears to be more often then not related to driver bugs.

Cortex A7 is more energy efficient than Cortex A15, and serveral SoC builder mix 1 Cortex A7 core with several Cortex A15 cores to better manage energy efficiency, the CCI-400 used for this big.Little technique is already supported by Linux :)

only have fishes as pets, not much to show off.
<specing>
is the cortex-a7 64-bit too?
<specing>
Or are they still 32?
<specing>
Ah, still v7
<hno>
A15 & A7 is v7a,
<hno>
don't know what the reoadmap for cores implementin v8 is.
<popolon>
I've some flies and mosquitos at home
<popolon>
all with 6 legs and 2 wings
<hno>
popolon, what CPU do they run?
<popolon>
small one with 1 core to fly and one core to detect blood or fructs depending on unit (fly or mosquito

specing: aarch64
<Marex>
specing: that's the name of the 64bit arm ... it won't be arm anymore
<Marex>
it iwll be aarch64
<Marex>
such a sexy name :)
<xxiao>
arm64
<Turl>
awhat
<specing>
:S
<specing>
why not arm64? Is it too similar to amd64?
<specing>
It could be simply a64 :)
<Turl>
aarch64hf distros are gonna kick ass! :P
<rm>
I believe someone has beat some sense into them
<specing>
Intel is going to get its ass kicked sooner or later
<specing>
AMD is going to go bankrupt soon after aarch64 takes over the low-mid end market
<Marex>
