As far as I know, this is within the realm of reasonable. You and the
other CPU enthusiasts need to come to an agreement on some things and
also make an assessment of the relative complexities of things.
If you hit us with a design that's too difficult or complicated, we
won't be able to do it. Consider expense too, of both prototypes and
production.
I suddenly got very excited with this idea after stumbling upon the sgi o2 uma.
we can put some opengl and video decode in the cpu core and we use
system memory for all video calculations. maybe we dont need memory in
the card anymore. is this possible?
this way drivers will be very easy to write. zero copy textures and
streaming video textures anyone?
if i only have the skill and equipment i would go beyond this and
actually interface the fpga direclty to the cpu, the system memory and
a peripheral bus of some and then just get the video signal from the
northbridge.
i think im going back to college...
