Hard-float optimized port of Debian for Raspberry Pi
- rm2kdev 14y agoHey that's awesome, glad to see the pi getting more support
- losethos 14y agoDo you know why someone would use fixed-point instead of float? Faster. Used to be much much faster. I'll bet you're still confused. Did you know since 1992, every x86 has had hardware float support? And did you know that hardware float is slower than fixed-point float? Suppose you have money in US dollars and you use an integer to store pennies. That's an example of fixed-point. You're so retarded you don't know a double takes more time than an int! Ohhh! You still believe GPU is unnecessary. You're being foolish -- they would not have GPU's if they weren't needed. Pointing-out x87 floating coprocessors have been standard since 1992 was to show how incompetant you are and has nothing to do with other CPU's.
