Where is SW when it comes to future performance?

Proe is going 64 bit has been on Linux. Now UG is going Linux.

SW06 is going to be 64-bit. As for linux I doubt that will happen for
sometime.

Would probably take very little effort, if the market existed, to move
VX to Linux. VX roots are in Unix just like UG and Pro/E's are. Just a
few years ago Mike Crown of Varimetrix (now VX) told me that VX Vision
(now just called VX) ran much faster on Linux that on Windows NT.

I guess the question in my mind is whether Windows 2000, Windows XP or
the coming Windows XP 64 are capable of running applications much
faster than NT.

Paul,

Without an exact Linux-native analog of the MFC libraries, SW for Linux
would pretty much be a complete rewrite, not a port.

I think one of the biggest problems with SW quirkyness, and stability, is
that it uses too many Microsoft components. Most of these were written to
drive word processors, spread sheets, and multi-media stuff. Not parametric
solid modelers.

On Intel & AMD 64 bit CPUs?
Probably an easy port from UNIX.
I'd expect the part database structure to remain unchanged
in any case. Going to 32 bit integers (& 64 bit reals IIRC)
some time back probably suffices there.

It was ineresting that they could have the same part
database structure on so many hardware & OS platforms
before as many had different internal data ops. Some had more
bits in a native computation, some less .....

 

LOL ....

 

Like Beppe, I've heard that has changed.
