Literature Request Quantity required. Consumers accepted cost of special purpose 3d accelerators, CPU vendors boosted their multimedia performance by adding SIMD support, and other graphics vendors assisted DVD playback enough to compete with special purpose decoders.
Don't mind those heatsinks. News Literature Contact Us Careers. And then there is a wrapper for GlQuake and Quake 2, but it is a beta with issues.

Performance Here are average framerates, click on image to see minimal. Populous was refusing to run in mpactt above x The first chip was ready before the end of and named Mpact!
Excluding the cache there is only gates in the pipeline and it does full speed perspective correction, texture transparency testing, texture and fog blending, pixel dithering and alpha threshold. Mpact2 has more on-chip memory bandwidth as well. Before release the company was renamed to Chromatic Research.
Monroe Public Access Cable Television, Inc.
Mpact has it's own real time kernel separating it from system interrupts and latencies of memory and PCI bus. By being based on 9 bit bytes instead of 8 bit bytes, this was the equivalent of adding a sign bit to each byte which is very useful for MPEG decoding. Extracting high performance from such processor requires stronger instruction feeding.
LG and Toshiba took advantage of Mpact! Most important for me is a specialized polygon rendering pipeline for 3D graphics- sixth ALU group of Mpact2. It is comprised of a stainless steel body with a mild steel flange for easy weld attachment to the division, and can provide watertightness with a quick application of MFS Sealant.

Unreal is rendered as lines of random colors and somehow 3dMark things Mpact2 does not support textures. The whole business model of selling IC design to semiconductor manufacturers did not guarantee much profit for Chromatic.
MPACT 2 - Wikipedia
Experience Mpact2 surprised me with its compatibility, but for a multi function DSP board I had low expectations to begin with.
SGS-Thomson joined the band as another manufacturer.
Mpact2 needs "only" 3 clocks per 3d pixel, thus has theoretical fillrate of Unlike fixed function graphics program jumps are supported and hardware loop counts too and without branch overhead.
Chromatic put so much effort into Mediaware they were very protective of it and never published it on the web.
ivdeo Board with 8 MB of memory sits in between. The company was not able to interest its customers to cooperate on software development, nor create enough revenue to cover its development cost. VLIW is highly flexible and efficiently utilizes resources when given a good compiler, but only up to some amount of parallelism.
Being best mapct DVD alone did not sell enough. Many "what if" thoughts complicate such judgements. There were many reasons for the demise of the company, however, primarily the lack of interest from PC makers made it impossible for Chromatic to sustain its overhead.
This is why Mpact has some unique precisions such as 18 bit Z-buffering and audio sampling.
