It was a perfect setting to show thousands of people just how fast IDL can perform. It was also a strong testament to our growing role as an Apple Strategic Partner. Gala also chose to add the Mars Flythrough Demo to his AltiVec demonstrations at Motorola. In both instances, IDL performed beautifully on the MPC7400-based desktop computer. The audiences were very impressed with how well such a data-intensive scientific application can run using Motorola's technology.
Huge performance increases with little programming effort.
That is exactly what our customers want. We are now actively working on vectorizing more IDL operations for our next release. We are sure our Macintosh customers are going to be thrilled. All rights reserved.
