I think the hardware is ok, it's just that most programmers are not that good at writing software on that level. Running an event loop per core and amortizing synchronization is not a rocket science.
- stcredzero 10y agoI think the hardware is ok, it's just that most programmers are not that good at writing software on that level. If it becomes the case that the hardware has changed in such a way that most programmers now have a hard time writing code that compiles efficiently to it, the hardware has changed in the wrong way! Well, that is the case over the past few decades! Hardware has changed in the wrong way.

- stcredzero 10y agoI read it as closer to "640k ought to be enough for anyone" than simply having features in a language/compiler. C'mon, if you're inserting unused stuff into structures to get stuff on separate cache lines, something is a little too hacky here!
