https://unfoxnews.com/clocking-a-6502-to-15ghz/ tldr: 6502 is very similar to 8086 and doing a binary translation is fairly straightforward. But, it turns out that many instructions that took multiple cycles on the 65

That assumes all products are of equal value to all people. Which is clearly not true. What makes this situation hard is that there are two problems: 1) Even if you make a good product, it is not reasonable to demand the world to just info

I realize an iPhone 6+ is an old phone. But, this is a simple page with some simple text and simple images that is working so hard to track me that it is completely unreadable even though they really want me to read it.

Intel's scalar pipelining does do an amazing job of keeping pipes busy. And, well-pipelined code can approximate SIMD performance. But, in practice to solidly get that kind of pipelining you need to pretty much write your scalar code

It's not a problem for SSE and AVX1. But, with AVX2/AVX-512, the deal is that you should not just dip your toe with an occasional call to a small SIMD task using such heavy-hitting features. Either do enough SIMD work to overcom

The question had 2 goals: 1) Do you think about cache at all or is it just something you heard mentioned as important that one time? 2) It's a good lead-in to discussing the effects of cache in algorithms. How that conversation goes

It wasn’t taught to me. And, in my previous job I interviewed many dozen fresh grads. One of my questions was “How much slower is it to sum integers in a trivial linked list vs. a trivial array?” 90% answered “Umm... I don’t know. 2x?” Wh

It’s because Big O is Computer Science. Cache effects are Software Engineering. Professors of CS do a fine job of teaching CS. They even briefly mention that there is a implicit constant factor k in O(k n log(n)) and then they never mention
