Ted Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Do you have any update or ETA on the universal binary version of Accordance? Thank you and have a merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 It's coming along nicely, in alpha testing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Castle Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 It's coming along nicely, in alpha testing now. May I ask what the biggest benefit of having Accordance in UB will be? Sorry for the display of ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmate Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 May I ask what the biggest benefit of having Accordance in UB will be? Sorry for the display of ignorance. From my understanding if your on an intel mac running a universal binary application you get a much higher performance from the application than one would from running a non universal binary app through emulation such as using Roseta.

Tom Castle Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Is the performance increase simply a speed boost or other wise? And is the increase significant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Here's a recent page on benchmarks for PPC apps running using Rosetta emulation on Intel Macs: http://www.macworld.com/article/53814/2006/11/rosetta.html Which is more, have Rosetta running uses system resources... regardless of how the app itself does. Maxing our your RAM can minimalize the actual effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Speaking from actual tests, not only does the IntelAcc have less overhead, and starts up faster (I've noticed the first time opening a Rosetta application it takes additional 10 seconds), but I've found searches and intensive processing to be about 30% faster (not a scientifically tested number). This was estimated doing a full concordance of the bible (* search time and concordance building time were both improved about the same amount).

techmate Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Since Accordance is the only known application on my mac that uses rosetta, i do noticed it takes a long time upon first launch. You got me all excited with the speed increase now. Cant wait for it to come out universal binary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Terry Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 The Universal Binary should provide a big difference in the User Tool editing speed. That is one area of Accordance that really needs the speed boost. It can be pretty slow in the present version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephyli Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 It's coming along nicely, in alpha testing now. I'm excited. Any thoughts on whether this will be a paid upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yes this is a major upgrade in which we have invested much, and we will charge for it. As well as the Universal Binary there are exciting new features coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbritterjr Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I just moved up from the Powerbook 1.25 to the Macbook Pro 2.4, so I am eager to see the availability of version 8(?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with all the above. Accordance is so excellent, we are eager to move ahead into the Intel version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmate Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I with ya'll. (Saying ya'll cracks me up for some reason) I think it may be the last of the rosetta apps in my library. Be nice to get a universal. Im running Logos Beta for mac and I think that is universal from my understanding. Looking forward to using both Logos and Accordance side by side in my learning arsenal. http://img.skitch.com/20080320-f5hpt1cj3gwq1q1ife5cjcsjde.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
