...s is that for any such virtual object (assuming 64-bits on a typical Intel CPU) the pointer alone eats up 25% (8 of 64 bytes) of a cache line. In the kind of applications I enjoy to write, this hurts very badly. (And from my experience it is the #1 argument against C++ from a purist performance poin...

... from my big honkin' System z at work to a puny little wristwatch. If the CPU provides any kind of choice, the ABI / calling convention used by the OS specifies which choice you need to make if you want your code to call everyone else's code. The processors and their direction are: x86: down. SP...

...u pointed out, it could bring back thousands of records and waste loads of CPU materialising objects that will never get used) Again, I would not recommend doing this second, but it does help illustrate the difference between where and when the LINQ expression is executed. ...

...have a really good reason for it... while it might seem logically correct, CPUs don't operate according to human abstractions. Iterating over a datastructure that has pointers all over the place will result in cache misses in the CPU, unlike a sequential array which is highly efficient. blog.davidec...

...rations is linear in the number of input digits. For numbers that fit into cpu registers, it's reasonable to model the iterations as taking constant time and pretend that the total running time of the gcd is linear. Of course, if you're dealing with big integers, you must account for the fact that ...

...on the server if you had a large user base, because you are relying on the CPU load to slow down the number of requests. It means that if you add more CPU power, you are reducing the restriction on those brute force attackers. -- However, you are completely correct about the scalability, and the wid...

...apart from the tgid), a multi-threaded process will in conclusion get more CPU time than a single-threaded one, provided that both have the same priority and none of the threads is halted for any reason (such as waiting for a mutex). – Aconcagua Sep 21 '15 at 1...
