    The future of multicore gaming

    I posted this over in the the Operation flashpoint forums but I thought I would post it here as well. It's an article regarding how they optimized the engine for multicore support. Regardless of whether your interested in the game itself it is still really amazing if it all works the way it should and I hope other developers take note. The story was linked from a sticky on their official forums.

    Here is the article and the video where they discuss the way the optimized it, it's a good read.

    I found it pretty interesting.



    The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.

    Great stuff! If you are watching the video, go to 2:25 in to get past all the marketing.

    Your links aren't working, but I did find this:

    Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
    http://software.intel.com/sites/bill...gon-rising.php

    It's a bit "glossy" and superficial, considering its length, but maybe it'll help to inspire someone to take more advantage of threading.
