- CyberPatcher is an utility to speed up your fpu/64bit math intensive
- applications and make the system usage smoother.
- The problem with several Amiga applications on the 68040 and 68060
- is that these are compiled for the 6888x.
- This coprocessor has a lot more fpu instructions than the 68040 and
- 68060 so these instructions have to be emulated on the more advanced
- 680xx processors.
- Unknown instructions cause a trap and during the trap the emulation has
- to find the right emulation routine and run this function.
- In a trap the processor is in the Supervisor mode and no other tasks
- can run.
- This effect is visible by a not smooth running mouse...the system gets
- almost unusable the more unimplemented instructions are used by a program.
- CyberPatcher trys to patch the most used instructions that have to be
- emulated.
- The speed up depends on the program but the main job is to provide a
- smooth system where you can work with no annoying blocked system.
-
- At the moment CyberPatcher supports the following programs:
-
- -Mand2000d(large speed up)
- -SceneryAnimator(large speed up)
- -Imagine(large speed up)
- -Vista Pro
- -Lightwave
- -Real 3d
- -Maxon Cinema
