This will remain nothing more than a parlor trick. It's pretty much a guarantee, based on how a modern CPU works. You're sure to screw up the branch predictor, caching, and everything else that works to prevent your program from making it feel like 1993 all over again. It would seem like the halting problem would also make an appearance in there somewhere, once you go rearranging how things work. On the upside, I guess compiler writers can drop all their work on optimization.
- TTPrograms 13y agoYeah, exactly - very similar to the issues with homomorphic encryption in terms of performance hits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption Maybe if we do eventually outgrow the computational power we have access to this could happen, but not in the near future I don't think.
