<PRE>Quoting Gordan Bobic <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">gordan at bobich.net</A>>:

It does seem outlandish, but it is kind of cool. Is it going to give
enough 3d speed? The next gen tegra is supposed to have a 24 core GPU.
It is probably more sane then my idea of just having a test suite from
digital video out -> digital video receiver/capture card to get known
test results. Then you could set up a hinted genetic algorithm based
on a comparison. It would only work with digital video signals though.
