Nice Nicola, Thank you for the good presentation! I have got answers for some of my questions. What I am still interested in is multi threading support in objC compiler and runtime. While the server application will run on unix with 2 quad core processors I will definitively need to use

Is it not going about compiler possibilities to optimize the code using hyper threading? OpenMP is a specification trying to get a standard for such things, I hope, I have it not totally misunderstood. Is ObjC compiler just an extension to the common GNU C compiler (100% compatible) or it is

Hi Simeon, At the end the a array will be calculated for ways shorter time than one thread with 100 000 iterations, because each processor core will take part of this calculation. GNU gcc (4.3.2) has already an option and you can compile with -fopenmp . My question was: Does ObjC

Hi! I would like to add an enum value to NSOpenGLPixelFormatAttribute which is not defined yet by Apple, something like NSOpenGLPFAColorsRGB or GSOpenGLPFAColorsRGB to mark it as a GNUstep extension. This flag would make it possible to use an sRGB color space framebuffer, the extension

Thomas, please read the relevant licenses before you make a decision. The world would be a much better place if people read FSF licenses before releasing code under them. Thanks for your hints. I wrote to the list simply because I just have superficial knowledge regarding open source
