I just watched a video on branchless programming, and it blew my mind that the guy got a 3.36s function to return in .48s by using more code. The idea of trying to outsmart a compiler or runtime is motivating me to pick back up coding after 8 years away.

- nickpeterson 6y agoI think it’s a sign our chipsets and tooling have become too complicated. We’re at this weird point where both sides are trying to guess what the other one is doing.
- mhh__ 6y agoThe Mill (seems to be chugging along if any one is looking for an update) is an interesting take on the problem. If you're not familiar its a (in development) exposed pipeline (static scheduling) VLIW ISA - not unheard of in DSP land but genuinely alien compared to a CISC scalar processor a la X86 or ARM. I'm not particularly optimistic about their chances of making into the shops but they haven't failed yet.
