This sounds really neat. Can I have a copy of the source too?
Does "quickstep" use special hardware, or does it really generate 60k updates/second on standard hardware?
Sure, I'll send you a copy. Keep in mind that it's just finished, though... something in EMC that I haven't used might break it. Yes, it really generates over 60K updates/second on an unaugmented P266 laptop (PERIOD set to 15 us). It's only consuming 1/3 of the CPU at that rate, as measured by running bogomips in user space while it's active, so it may be able to go quite a bit faster. -- Matt
