The first day here at Game Developers Conference Europe 2010 is almost done and so it’s time for a first summary what happened so far. The first Intel tech session was held by Steve Hughes who talked about Intel Graphics Performance Analyzers . This tool suite helps game developers to profile and debug their products in order to find bottlenecks and other annoying things. Steve presented the new features of Intel GPA 3.0 , showed how to use the three different tools ( System Analyzer , Frame Analyzer , Platform View ) und how these tools help game developers to instantly view modifications on single frames. Moreover we learnt, that the SDK and a capture tool are included , that Intel GPA runs as a client-server tool to minimize the impact on the tested platform and you can drill down quickly into your game. Tech session number two was held by Intel’s software engineer Leigh Davies and hold the title “Building Games for Netbooks”. Leigh’s presentation was fully-packed with lots of interesting thing like: ad-hoc Gaming for Netbooks is quite easy with Intel Laptop TDK how to invoke the Intel Laptop TDK how you maximize the Intel Atom processor performance with Threading and SSE which vectorization options you can use on Intel Atom processor how you optimize your game for Intel Atom processor machines with appropriate compiler switches and much more Moreover we had the chance to talk to the Havok guys who share the showcase booth with Intel. We set-up our video camera and created three video clips which show how Havok physics work in general , in terms of desctruction and cloth . So, just click the related link and watch the video. Have fun!

To be honest, when Toshiba’s 10.1-inch AC100 smartbook was revealed last month it looked like one nice clamshell, but we’re not really all that surprised that Hi-tech.mail.ru found it to be rather lacking after putting it through the paces. The good news is that the Russian site found the 1.9-pound smartbook to be incredibly thin and light, and had no ergonomic issues with its keyboard and touchpad. The bad? The 1GHz Tegra 250 -powered lappie runs Android 2.1 , but like most other Android netbooks or tablets it doesn’t have access to the Market, so you’ve got to sideload your own apps. They also described the browser as “archaic,” presumably because of its inability to run flash content. And on top of all that, the reviewers weren’t all that impressed with the 4.5 hours of video playback. To its credit, the AC100 was able to play 1080p video, which those typical Intel Atom N450-powered netbooks absolutely choke on. Basically, Toshiba’s smartbook — like most — seem to be a mixed bag, but if you’re still lusting for some more details you’ll want to hit the source link for the full translated review. Toshiba AC100 review may explain why we haven’t seen many (or any!) smartbooks originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 26 Jul 2010 07:41:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

Here at Develop in Brighton, the full spectrum of games development is represented. There are companies talking about high-end console development and some sharing their success with mobile phone apps. Intel gave an interesting workshop (which is repeated Thursday, if you missed it) about what could be seen as the middle ground: the netbook. It has all the game potential of the desktop, including the large-ish screen, keyboard and touchpad/mouse. It combines that with portability and a small form factor, and wi-fi capabilities that make it easier to engage in social gaming. One of the most interesting aspects of the presentation by Doug Binks, application engineer for Intel, was his mention of ad-hoc gaming. Using the Intel Laptop Gaming TDK, it’s possible to create a personal area network so that others near you can play games with you. There’s no need for any internet infrastructure – people can just connect with each other and play. I’ve seen a similar concept used in Nintendo DS gaming and it’s great at parties: players can meet and compete or cooperate in the same game world, with Mario Kart being particularly good fun. I’ve never seen anybody doing something similar for netbooks (let me know if I’ve missed anything), so it’s clear there’s fantastic potential to create ad-hoc social games, particularly if you are first to market. Binks’ talk also discussed the challenge of adapting PC games to run on netbooks. One of the challenges is the aspect ratio. The presentation itself was being delivered on a machine that was 1024×600, which is extremely different to what you might see on a PC. The inclusion of cameras and microphones on the lid and support for wi-fi and USB creates lots of creative opportunities for app developers, Binks said. Under the hood of the netbook, is the Intel Atom processor. This was described as a standard x86 processor with Hyperthreading enabling up to two threads. There are some dual core Atom processors out there, but they’re not yet the majority. The chip supports SSE3 and is accompanied by one of three processors for the graphics: Intel GMA 950, 3150 or 500. Binks said not to worry about performance differences between these. The only challenge might be if your application requires a lot of vertex processing, because only the 500 supports that. The 950 and 3150 will slow down when they try to use one thread for vertex processing. To optimise performance, use SSE and threading, or use the Intel Compiler to automatically optimise for SSE. Because Atom performs in-order processing (unlike Pentium, Core i7, Core i3, and Core i5), there is a risk of memory load dependency stalls being created. The compiler can achieve 10-30% speedup by optimising for SSE3. Once you’ve developed your games, there is a channel for marketing them. The Intel AppUp Center Beta brings the app store model to the netbook (Windows now, and MeeGo Linux support coming soon), and you can get your apps in there by joining the Intel Atom Developer Program.
