Hope that will help you and other seekers of audio-option for C8000.
Sound Maker option should also work on HP-UX/IA64 target, but i have only one positive report about it, and lazy to check it by myself
(i.e. i don't want to move this card from my C8000 to my rx2600 and install HP-UX on rx2600, which i don't have there, maybe later, when i'll get another one card).
), processor option is interesting, comparing with IA64 - i have 2x dual-core PA8900 (so 4 cores in total, in rx2600 i have 2 cores) with
huge
caches, another very cool thing is that i got C8000 with full room of RAM, rare 4 Gb PC2100 modules in 8 slots total - 32 Gb at all, so C8000 is ideal for HPUX`ing
For rx2600: integrated ATI 7000 on iLO MP card is a nice bonus (it's supported by OpenVMS DECWindows for example), i have an AGP riser option also: so outstanding graphics for HP-UX (up to ATI FireGL X1), Windows and Linux is there. CPU option is unique of course (EPIC architecture, opportunity to run unique systems like: Windows/IA64 and OpenVMS finally, nice threading and productivity with dual 1.5 Ghz / 6M L3 cache CPUs), room space for RAM is also awesome: 12 slots, up to 24 Gb officially, up to 48 Gb (!) un-officially (should be, i checked by moving 8x 4 Gb sticks from my C8000 there, remaining 4x slots were filled with 2 Gb sticks - and i got 44 Gb working there
), but for 48 Gb i wasn't be able to find cheap 4 Gb kits at all, so stayed with 2 Gb modules.
, and i don't want to spend much on stock option, they are expensive. So that's the reason.

It's not a bad unix. The only shame is today's HP patch policy.

the real problem is: we can't emulate a 200Mhz MIPS CPU plus its gfx pipe with a common cheap fpga (e.g. spartan6 by Xilinx), we need harder fpga (even if under the "enterprise level, e.g. Virtex by Xilinx), which are expensive. So, the resulting hw will go for 500 euro at least.

If they do this ever.

guess how many linux users know where xfs came from
robespierre wrote: SGI's Virtual-24 technology is hardware-assisted dithering. The Xserver provides a 24-bit DirectColor visual to applications, which can run as if they had a 24-bit graphics device. The GL system dithers that visual using an 8-bit LUT optimized for the colors the application uses.
By contrast, HP's Color Recovery technology also processes the data on the backend, turning the dithering back into an approximation of the original color information. It was only found on the 715's HCRX and the 712's integrated graphics.

Don't be confused by non-relevant topic name.
