[Gimp-developer] AGEIA PhysX chip physX SDK(NovodeX v2.2 SDK) AGEIA PhysX chip physX SDK

2005-08-06 Thread Gottfried Zojer
Hallo to all,

Maybe a bit a off topic question.
But is anybody aware if there is somebody working on a project to bring
Gimp to run with the AGEIA PhysX chip ( is there any documentation about
how to use the NovodeX v2.2 SDK in combination with a Gimp plugin 
Thanks for any feedback 

Rgds

Gottfried

 Would you mind to provide us with a little more information, such as
 a link that explains what chip you are talking about and how such
 hardware relates to GIMP?

Google on PhysX says:

http://www.ageia.com/technology.html

I'm guessing that it will do math-intensive processing really, really 
fast, and that Gottfried is wondering if GIMP is structured to offload 
such easily.

Cheers; Leon

The GIMP performs 2D image manipulation, not 3D physics manipulation.
None of the features in the PhysX chip apply to what GIMP does, so
it's highly unlikely that any of the filters or plugins use this chip.

He is probably referring to the 3D effects that can be done via plug-ins.

If you wish to speed up the performance of The GIMP, get a faster CPU,
and more, faster memory.  A faster hard disk (maybe small, high-speed
SCSI disk) [or a partition of such a disk, used when the disk is not
being used for other activities] used exculsively for The GIMP may or
may not also improve performance.

None of these statements are guaranteed to be true, and are merely
speculation.  Take with a grain of salt.
