Best VM Options for Mac Os X

OpenGL Development JOGL Development
#1

Hello folks. I have a question.

I ported a small Jogl Nvidia Cg demo from an Athlon 1400C with Radeon 9800 Pro to a Powerbook
with 1.25 Ghz Power PC and a Radeo 9600. On the Powerbook, it runs about 6 Times slower than on
the Athlon. Is that normal or does the new VM (verson 1.5) on Mac Os X provide special flags to
speed the whole thing up? I think it is a VM optimiziation problem and not a JOGL problem since
non graphicsl applications are slow also.

Thanks for your admittance

This sounds like something not being properly hardware accelerated, not like a JVM problem. Do the VertexProgRefract and ProceduralTexturePhysics run with similar frame rates on the Athlon and Powerbook? Both of these exercise the ARB_vertex_program and ARB_fragment_program extensions and should give an indication of the hardware’s performance.
