As the only important thing for Filter Forge is just the raw power of the CPU , I have seen a new computer that would surely would fit perfectly for using Filter Forge with REALTIME SPEED for preview and rendering using ANY FILTER.

This is a new Multi-Core computer, so FF will be able to benefit from it because is optimized to get the most from all the cores.

Although there are two problems with this new computer, it is a "bit" expensive and takes a huge lot space smile:D

Known as the “K Computer,” this is the first megamachine to achieve 10 quadrillion operations a second — aka 10 petaflops


I think that having 10 petaflops of computer power would be enough for filter forge 3.0 to preview and render in realtime speed smile:D

In comparison:

my Intel i7 2600 has 74 Gigaflops = 0,074 Teraflops
and converting it, the K computer = 10.000 Teraflops

I have seen something that makes what I have said here impossible.

The K computer (and all the most powerful and fastest computers) run ONLY under the Linux OS, and as there is NO linux version of FF, it will not run.

Unless there could be a way to run in some way Windows or Mac software in Linux, which I do not think is possible.

So My idea of using this K computer for FF is not possible smile:( Sorry.

smile:D smile:D Well you can make a very complex filter of the ones available to make a 60.000 x 60.000 image result smile:D smile:D

Why only ONE peanut, please raise it to two or three. smile:D
