no, but my new 90Ghz P9 runs Cruzin' Really smoothly You should see it It's AMAZING! |

Yes, it probably could. Here is a screenshot of me running 15 copies of Ms. Pac-Man using Mame .92 Note I hit F11 to show framerate on the middle one (which I was playing). That is using the SLOW Mame .92. Using a Ms. Pac optomized emulator and Linux (which can run a gazillion copys of the same APP and only load it into memory once), it SHOULD be possible to run 112 copies at once. |

now you just need a way to connect 112 joysticks and you're in business :D |

Hmmm, thinking beyond MAME. Crays are typically are used running simulations, for instance weather simulations, structural stress simulations, ect. How about a component level arcade PCB simulation? With a library of simulated components, you could recreate game board circuits virtually and spread the load across the supercomputer's processor elements. This would overcome the speed limitations of the individual processors, as they only have to handle a part of the overall simulation. Not sure if this would give us a smooth running Cruzin USA simulation, but it should make recreating all those discrete logic games possible. 8) |
