FFTW does not use it. ACML and MKL aren't even in my distro. Things like LAPACK tend to get replaced with more modern & language-native libraries,...

[coder]

Well, if you figure the old code is continually getting replaced (probably according to some sort of half-life function), then a language that's no longer...

[coder]

Yeah, I actually have a Xeon E5 quad-core. Stock speeds (cuz I hate instability), with quad DDR3-1600 (16 GB) and NVMe storage. It's fast enough and (more...

[coder]

Agreed. For various reasons, I doubt it's ARM-based....

[coder]

I didn't say it was. That was a response to milkylainen , who seemed to be implying that they were just taking readily available IP and slapping it together...

[coder]

Well, Tachyum promises a binary translator, with the claim that "EXISTING APPLICATIONS CAN RUN WITHOUT CHANGES".

As for development...

[coder]

Sure, if you're adding/subtracting. But, again, the problem here is that you want to dither at the end of a series of computations, retaining higher...

[coder]

You mean like these guys?

Good question. I am similarly skeptical....

What about security mitigations? Here's what Michael used:

According to Anandtech:

It doesn't appear to have one, based on both the pics of the HW and this (hint: right-click to view in a separate tab/window):

[coder]

I wouldn't say "the only reason". Michael's chosen set of benchmarks included some that were probably I/O-bound, and others which probably...

[coder]

Please try kernel compilation and any text stream (or XML) processing benchmarks you might have....

[coder]

I would never dissuade someone from learning assembly language - only using it!

For a few years, I had a job writing hard-realtime firmware...

[coder]

I think it's probably an aerodynamics simulation of a space plane. The "portals" are cross-sections, probably showing airflow density, or something...

[coder]

I wonder if this is meant to be something more generic, like OpenInventor, or if it really is specialized for data visualization.

[coder]

Branches, right? Not branch targets, then? If so, how can you say extra nops won't affect performance?

I read elsewhere that Intel estimates...

[coder]

Yes, in decades past.

These days, fortran seems to be a direct dependency only of older libraries, with not much new code being written in...

[coder]

In that case, I think you hit a wall by the name of "GPL", which doesn't permit static linking (at least, not by non-GPL code)....

[coder]

Instead of wrestling with this dilemma for libraries on a case-by-case basis, wouldn't it be nice if the loader could cache libraries & executables...
