Do you remember the DEC Alpha CPU? Måns Rullgård does. He still has his unit in service and running Linux. So why not run FATE? Just like FFmpeg supports impossibly obscure multimedia formats, why shouldn’t it also support CPU types of approximately the same prevalence? In both cases, as long as the support overhead is not too arduous, it’s not a problem.

What I’m saying here, in case I was unclear, is that Måns has an Alpha CPU contributing build/test results to the central FATE database.

In other FATE news, today was a very busy day. I carefully evaluated and entered 18 new test specs:

With this, I have eliminated much of the low-hanging fruit on the FATE Test Coverage wiki page. My excuses to avoid testing the more complicated (read: bit inexact) formats are dwindling.

Meanwhile, the front page of FATE is reaching critical mass. I really need to come up with a new presentation because the front page is getting harder and harder to digest.
