Fun fact, the Mill's proposed method for hiding that latency, "deferred loads" has already been done by Duke's Architecture Group: http://people.duke.edu/~bcl15/documents/huang2016-nisc.pdf http://people.duke.edu/~bcl15/documents/huang2016-nisc.pdf (warning PDF link).
The big gain? A measly ~8%.
- cwzwarich 9y agoThis doesn't decouple across function calls like the Mill claims to, right? Although doing that optimization on existing C/C++ programs will be difficult.
- deepnotderp 9y agoI don't think that's enough of a difference, YMMV, but nothing indicates that it should.
