Citation needed? I've never encountered that, and used plenty of those. The main reason old instruction become slow is that the hardware implementation is replaced by a microcoded version.

What do you define the difference between an in-house developed SoC with ARM-IP Cores and Denver's "ARM-based chip"? It is going to be a new architecture, but using a mix of ARM IP blocks and in-house IP following the ARM IS

(for context: -fomit-frame-pointer causes the FP to not be saved on the stack, stack unwinding then relies on DWARF or compiler-internal information to unwind the stack.) I don't see how that would have an effect on TCO, as the storing

APL is well alive in Numpy and R, good ideas typically get diffused even to industry. However, it only adopts what fits in the existing systems. Good ideas that cannot be adopted incrementally tend to not diffuse well (e.g. dataflow parall

The remote access features are probably removed or disabled via microcode changes. As Purism referred to sourcing recent CPUs without vPro, they are either directly or indirectly getting those kind of vPro-disabled variants.

Regarding the 30% cut. It's the large scale clients that are hurt the most by the 30% cut. Old timer indie devs who used to have to manage payment and distribution themselves, like Jeff Vogel, will tell you that Steam's cut is abs

It is also becoming clear that bread has come after beer, which has come after gruel. The theory is that gruel from wild grains came first, where soaking them helped to soften them up for consumption. Leaving gruel sit there in certain cond

He carries enough weight in this industry to have no problem changing the orbit of even a company the size of Intel. It depends how hard the managers are going to try and pull it back in the old direction.

You can just play the base game as is. The Lazy Newb Pack is simply a launcher where you can checkbox the third party graphics and tool options.

I was surprised how fast the (frequently inconsistent) keyboard commands just get into your fingers, where you don't think about it anymore. Similarly for the graphics, and that applies to games in general. You really stop noticing the

Yes, some compilers emit AVX move instructions on memcpy or compiler-generated moves (e.g. pass by value struct). (In addition to the rep move mentioned in the sibling posts)

My take on this: pro: - Storage concerns are separated and grouped at the top. - Logic code is more compact, helping readability. - Stack use can be determined at a glance. - Looking up a variable's type is faster in cases where a vari

Thanks for the interesting pointer. I was also thinking in the direction of the compiler transforming the call-by-value struct object argument into a call-by-ref one at specific call sites. e.g. when the object is clearly on the caller&#x27

A compiler related question: A often recurring C idiom is passing a pointer to a struct as function argument where passing the plain struct by copy would do. A big reason is the good old 'passing by pointer is faster', which I tho
