What about an embedded hardware test?

[uuderzo]

This may sound strange...

Say that I designed a show that will be delivered to many people.

Everybody will see the show with his own hardware.

So the show may be go well (as I espect people should see it)

or bad (jerky animations because of poor hardware).

What about something to let the user know that his hardware

is ok for seeing the show? Say that I wish people know this,

and run the show on my hardware saying that i wish 60fps.

So when the user launches the show, a fast hw test is performed

and he is been said that his hw is ok or his hw can perform

the show at 50% the performance required. So users will

know that some jarkiness can be caused by the hw, and not

by me or pte

The only problem is to design a hw test that can understand

if the hw can perform this specific show... well I don't know.

What do you think?
