I've got some news regarding Starmapper's progress. I'm finally free to do whatever I want (before I become a corporate slave) so I did two things in Starmapper:
* Image-level concurrency, which is easier and better that the one done previously (but these two ways do not conflict); it was so easy that I implemented it in under an hour ;) It can use as many threads as is practical and it automatically detects number of processors/cores on the machine, so no extra options setting is needed (yay for automation!), even though options to set it explicitly are provided. * InterpolatingModel: this is a synthetic DataModel which "decorates" another model and generates N "fake" reports between each two reports. This can be used to generate more smooth animations, especially when there are moving fleets. The interpolation is linear only, of course. I think these two are enough for a new release (beta, of course). I'm testing it a bit right now and will generate nicely zipped archives soon :) -- KS "To an engineer, everyone looks like a chimp" - Dilbert
