General Haiku Discussion

Here you can talk about anything relating to Haiku.

Interesting videocast on programming multi-processor applications

Forum thread started by datatec on Thu, 2007-03-22 15:10

This is a presentation given to the Computer Science Club at The University of Waterloo.
The name of the presentation is called Riding the Multi-core Revolution.

http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/media/Riding%20The%20Multi-core%20Revolut...

Thought it might be interesting to those here since they claim to have found some ways to
program for multi-threaded multi-cores that is easy. Since Beos was quite this way but
had issues with deadlocks and issues around what many people considered a fragile base class.
Thought others with more knowledge then me might be interested in the ideas presented and possibly connect with this group and assess some of their ideas.

why do you use Haiku?

First of all, I use Windows, Linux and BSD so I'm no stranger to using non-Windows OSes. What makes BeOS so great? I understand a lot of its advantages compared to the other operating systems back when it first came out. It had a 64bit journaling FS and was tuned specifically for multimedia (whatever that means). I also read it was one of the first true multithreaded systems.

Something must have been awesome about it because Neal Stephenson in "In the beginning was the command line..." called Windows a minivan, Linux a tank, Macs a European car, and BeOS the Batmobile!

So I have a couple of questions. (I am truly - not just trying to stir things up)

1) Why did you first start using BeOS?

YAB?

Does anyone have yab and possibly the IDE working on BeOS or haiku. If you do let me know and tell me how and what files I need.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if if these Audio & MIDI specs can currently be done with BeOS (will Haiku)?

Dear BeOS (& Haiku) Community,

Does anyone know if if these Audio & MIDI specs can currently be done with BeOS (will Haiku?):

1) My focus for using BeOS, besides as a general purpose desktop OS, is for Audio & MIDI purposes. As such, I am looking for the highest Sample-Rate and Bit-Depth supported and tested Audio hardware with BeOS R5. My Audio ideal would be 3 Channels of simultaneous Recording and 2 Channels of simultaneous Playback at a minimum sample rate of 192 kHz and bit depth of 24 bits. Ideally, I would be using (outboard) external A/D and D/A converters, so what I really am after is a Digital I/O (RCA/Coax S/PDIF or AES/EBU) Audio solution which can handle what I am looking for...

Congrats on Haiku's inclusion in "Summer of Code"

Hi -

Just a quick note to say "congratulations!" to the Haiku devs on Haiku being included in the latest Google "Summer of Code".

It was disappointing last year when Haiku wasn't included, but it's *great* to see Haiku there this year! Good on you devs! :-)

Buying a wireless PCI card with Haiku in mind?

Forum thread started by Polari on Sun, 2007-03-11 05:44

Are there any that are currently supported or likely to be supported in the near future? I'm not sure Haiku will ever run on my rubbish nForce 450-based system anyway, but on the off-chance that it does, it would be nice to know I'm not going to have to then worry about networking.
