| 16-12-08 / 00:46 : Google Native Client : not processor independant ? (cjed) |
| Google presented Native Client, a system that is aimed at countering Flash and Javascript based RDA solutions, on the performance area (the critical point). The principle is to call native processor instructions from a web browser container. A runtime is provided, as with a compiler (GCC, still available on OSX) and plugins for most of web browsers (including Safari). The runtime is only available for Intel macs, but Google plans to release it for PowerPC. While OS and browser independance is provided, it seems it is only on a processors family basis, as the applications have to be recompiled with a runtime that depends from the installed processor type (Intel, PPC, ARM). Among examples we can find a converted version of Quake. |
