Yeah the problem with having flags is demonstrated by multiple very high performance implementations of arm64 and x86, while risc-v has exactly zero.

Does it fit 32K? Does it have some weird aliasing issue because you caused cache extinction with too many power of two sizes? And if you don't know the answer to these just check L1d hitrate with perf.

But 1-5 is the executable making decisions based on it's command name, not the OS changing behavior.

The original UNIX literally swapped processes, as in write all their memory to disk and read another program's state from disk to memory, it could only run as many processes as many times the swap was bigger than core, this is a wholly

That's only true if you totally ignore hot air balloons, the actual first manned flight was in 1783.

Zens don't have a trace cache, just an uop cache.

The 8 core X3D chips beat the 16 core ones on almost all games, so that's not that simple.

Because the very bottom is the only segment where it's worth to not just pay Arm for a core, with much better ecosystem support and ISA.

Except the effort and money needed to be OSA compliant. As the whole enwiki is permissively licensed everyone is welcome to do it though.

But the point is, why would you trust it for anything at all, when it can't do an incredibly simple thing reliably at all? (Yes, I understand the tokenizer makes this hard, but still, it's a quick demonstration that it's just

Does something where you don't care about quality this much need doing at all?

But fiber optics are different, they stay good for a very long while and you just need to add better transceivers at the ends to upgrade them, it's questionable whether the current GPUs are even worth powering up once 2nm ones are out,

By 2018 it was the system malloc by default, so that does not add up.

If they were mucking around with asm and custom jit those memory safety guarantees are gone.

The AVX2 version was still 64x faster than the C one, so AVX-512 is just 50% improvement over that. Hand vectorized assembly is very much the key to the gains.

And never back it up with hard data on productivity and defect rate before and after.

That was very different, here the problem is the game's threads get scheduled on the weak E-cores and it doesn't like that for some reasons, with the PS3 that would have been impossible, SPEs had a different ISA, and didn't e

That's Dennard scaling, Moore's law is not about clocks but components on an integrated circuit.

But history showed exactly the opposite, if you don't have an already existing software ecosystem you are dead, the transistors for implementing x86 peculiarities are very much worth it if people in the market want x86.

You never heard of COBOL? It's original premise was you can now use something resembling English to write programs.

They can do that in private repos just as easily, this a pr stunt that backfired very badly.

> You wrote code, you knew roughly which instructions it translated to, and there you went! This must have been a very very long time ago, with optimizing compilers you don't really know even if they will emit any instructions.

India has 34 cars per 1000 people, that counts as pretty rare. For comparison the EU has 567 and the US over 800.

A lot of demoscene optimizations are sacrificing correctness for speed, and thus not really applicable in most domains.
