64 bit build
Posted: Fri May 02, 2008 1:02 am
I did a cursory search of the forums and found only a few posts regarding 64 bit processing with L3DT. It would be nice to get a 64 bit build of L3DT so that more RAM could be addressed resulting in less hard disk paging and therefore better performance. Additionally, I am not sure how much double precision numbers are used in L3DT, but the 64 bit processor can process doubles much more efficiently than 32 bit systems, so there should be a significant gain in speed in operations where L3DT uses doubles.
I am not sure what portability issues may exist in the source code, but I would dearly love to be able to have L3DT use a larger portion of the 8GB I have on my machine.
