My phone feels like it may catch fire
- jsjohnst 4y ago> My phone feels like it may catch fire Sounds like a design defect of your phone. Might consider getting something which isn’t a fire safety hazard just by visiting a random website.
- walterbell 4y ago> The calculations required to run a single snapshot can become massive, taking up considerable CPU resources from your computer, and locking the browser for a long time. A large country with 30k cells, served by 150 satellites, each with 48 spot beams, could require up to 216 million calculations.
- jiveturkey 4y ago> 216 million calculations Is that a lot?
- pixelpoet 4y agoIt's a tiny amount of computation for any processor of the last two decades. How well those resources are used is another question...
- nawgz 4y ago216 million functions involving a few FP operands is going to take multiple seconds of CPU compute if the entirety of the CPU cycles were efficiently dedicated to said compute, due to the single thread nature; so I would guess yes, it's a fair amount of compute for a phone or something that will use loads of cycles on other scheduled topics
