I spent the weekend in London with Sandra. We went to camden market, St james Park, Tate Modern, etc… London or Paris ? I don’t know which one I prefer yet ! 🙂

altivec, here I come !

I just started learning altivec. It’s quite easy, actually easier than I expected, I can only recommend you to try.

What you need :

  • a ppc with altivec enabled. any G4 or G5 based machine will do. I use the pegasos Freescale donated me in sept 2004, a nifty machine
  • a linux distro, with altivec enabled gcc. Hm, what about gentoo linux ? 🙂
  • documentation about altivec. In short, you’ll need a “altivec for newbie” tutorial. It’s not trivial to find those documentation, see below
  • some very basic knowledge in C, an editor, gcc

And voil
