I think the proposal is to solder an entire stick of ram onto the CPU.

You don't need to (un)marshal necessarily; stuff like strings, or arrays of integers, can go straight across. And if you have to pass large amounts of data, they'll probably take a form that's something like that.

That's not exactly the same. What you're referring to is the library ABI for the c++ standard library. Every library which can be linked to dynamically has its own ABI. The language ABI, on the other hand, describes how every l

You can use shmem instead of sockets, which is pretty fast. Not as fast as a direct call, but pretty good; good enough for most purposes.

Maybe. Java is quite fast, but for very different reasons than APL; I don't think it would transfer that easily. Part of the reason APLs are so fast is because the interpreter and all the code fit in cache; my copy of k is 76kb. I d

I don't believe it's common to embed application scripting code within c source files, no.

They let you upload matrix data to the gpu, but all functions like glUniformMatrix4fv() really do is upload a 16-vector into gpu memory (and optionally reshuffle its layout). The shading languages also have matrix primitives, that's j

Solution: make the portions of a company that deal with/offer E2EE and those that don't separate entities. The bits that are E2EE don't need immunity because they don't make CSAM available online. The other bits get imm

Cyclone was definitely there. Sadly no longer maintained, and not at all practical to get working on modern systems (I did some work on it, then gave up).

It's unclear that you really need to convert to matrices before sending off to the GPU. [1] finds that quaternions are faster; I find that questionable (does it scale?), but it shows that the two are comparable. 1: https://

GPUs don't have dedicated matrix hardware anymore, making it questionable whether you really need to convert your GA structures to matrices first. [1] finds that quaternions are faster than matrices on modern hardware; I find that q

A borrow checker is currently in development for d, and pattern matching has been pseudo-implemented with metaprogramming.

Maybe. I think that's less likely than syntax error, for two reasons. #1, if you look in index.php, there's a < on line 228 and a > on line 258, correctly rendered. Granted, the < is part of a <=, which weakens that

Game code doesn't need player interaction either to hotreload. See this section of a talk by Bret Victor for some inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUv66718DII&t=10m42s

Maybe back then, but nowadays I'm pretty sure java is a lot faster than tcl.

Won't the screen-framebuffer be on gpu? Also, virtual memory shouldn't really matter. Anyway: $ ps aux|egrep -i '(xorg|fvwm)'|awk -c '{print $2}'|xargs sudo pmap -x|grep 'total kB' total kB

...huh? My window manager is currently taking about 65K of RAM, and X is using ~800K. Granted, I run a pretty lightweight setup, but a 'normal' ship can't be 4 orders of magnitude higher, can it?
