Doesn't NVIDIA ship the CPU for the Nintendo Switch? Not as low power as mobile phones, but not completely far away either.

You claim that it is in the interest of an ARM CPU vendor that wants to buy ARM to cut ARM's R&D and sell it for parts after buying it. What's the rationale of this claim? (you don't say) I'd expected that ARM CPU ve

To add, it is trivial to guarantee that Rust code is "zero-copy", so if this is something you care about, Rust allows your program to fail to compile if it tries to make a copy.

How does perf compare against GCC? How well can it target nvidia GPUs? Does machine code analyzer support in order hardware yet ?

The problems are that: - most such interfaces do have a constant overhead that all programmers using the language have to pay. - some major operating systems (like Linux, ehem) make these interfaces useless for all their user space apps by

I disagree. C++ often removes language features, standard library features (std::random_shuffle), etc. Also object files compiled with different standard versions often are ABI incompatible with each other, which means you can't just p

You must be the only gamer in the world that wants an HBM2e GPU for gaming that's 10x more expensive while only delivering a negligible improvement in FPS.

Every company does market segmentation: it makes sense to have customers that want a feature pay more for it. Still, every company does it differently. For example, both NVIDIA and AMD compute GPUs are necessarily more expensive than gamer

So it only errors if you try to access a page in which no byte has been initialized ? That is, if a program writes only to the 0th byte of a page, this tool won't warn on it reading from the 42nd byte ?

by volta83 6y ago
That conflicts. Suppose you want to allocate 24 bytes and process them using SIMD instructions. You call `aligned_alloc(24, 16)` to get a 24 byte allocation allocated to a 16 byte boundary. Since the OS doesn't give the allocator 24 by

Its quite straightforward nowadays. You just write normal C++, and it works.
