Is a single-text-file-github-gist the best way to disseminate this piece of knowledge (originally by Peter Norvig, BTW)? What about a comprehensive explanation

Is a single-text-file-github-gist the best way to disseminate this piece of knowledge (originally by Peter Norvig, BTW)?
What about a comprehensive explanation as to why those numbers actually matter?
Meh.
- willvarfar 14y agohttp://www.infoq.com/presentations/Lock-free-Algorithms http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Lock-free-Algorithms early-on gives good numbers on-machine. I like this visualisation too: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=702713 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=702713
- matthavener 14y agoFor anyone thinking about watching: the presentation is incredibly good. The name is kinda misleading -- they talk more about modern x86 architecture and actual numbers of various algorithms than the lock free algorithms themselves. Both of those guys have a high emphasis on measuring and testing to improve performance.
