Why does the title say 1ns but the body of the article says 30ns (with hopes to eventually get it down to 5)?

Hint for more wins if you want it: which numa node is the vvar page on? Which numa node are you on?

I was confused by this because pi is not between 1 and sqrt(1/2). But I found https://www.cs.miami.edu/home/burt/manuscripts/gaussagm/agma... and it clarifies that this AGM is used in the course of

55kph is about how fast Remco Evenepoel just did a flat 12km time trial in the UAE tour, to win it. I think you’re being a touch overconfident if you think you can hold that for an hour.

Have they tried paying more? I know lots of people that would rather make chips than software but software pays better.

Been great for me. Gets out of my way and I mostly don’t have to think about it. I’ve gone months without having an affirmative thought about it one way or another.

It uses select, which is notorious for poor performance (although is relatively portable). Try not to use this project for anything high-load.

How about 500 USD to be settled in bitcoin (or similar virtual currency)? The metric for winning will be where the top (by market cap) 10 finance companies are headquartered at midnight Apr 28, 2034. If more are in NYC, I win. If more are i

When the orders were added, there was a modification to the FIX specification for the exchange. For example: http://www.directedge.com/Portals/0/docs/Direct%20Edge%20Nex... . It is everyone who trades on that

Sorry. I said some pretty silly things. See the new version of the posts. Hopefully it's a bit more coherent now.

Everyone on that exchange has the same access to the same types of orders. HFTs only get priority if someone gives them priority. If these order types are so powerful, why aren't everyone using them? Also, I will reiterate: HFTs NEVER

Sorry, that was vague. My point was that market participants who make many trades will rapidly converge on their mean return, with little fluctuation. If you sample a normal distribution 10M times with a mean of 0.01%, you will very rarely

The quotes from HFTs are NOT inferior to existing quotes. At worse, they are identical to the best quotes already available on that exchange.

POWER7 has a max clock of 4.25 GHz according to that reference. Anyhow, clock rate in this case is irrelevant. Look at the instruction latencies. I don't have these handy, but I'd bet $50 at at the chance of winning $10 that decim

Casting back and forth is extremely slow. He has a loop with multiplication by 10 inside it in dec_new.

Because it's easy to do things in base 2 with binary signals (like the kind used in computers). It's unnatural to use base 10 for anything in this domain. It would be extremely unintuitive if math could be done faster in any base
