Programming Languages

The choice of programming language for your Next Big Project can be difficult. Even worse, it can seem easy… when it is not. On the one hand, strictly speaking, you can write any program in any of Turing-complete languages. On the other hand, that doesn’t mean it will be easy. In fact, writing a program in a poorly suitable programming language could be extremely difficult.

‘Speedy Gonzales’ Serializing (Re)Actors via Allocators

May 1, 2018 by • “No Bugs” Bunny

Quote:

Allocator-based serialization for (Re)Actors is extremely fast (for x64 – around tens of ms per 100MB of state)

Another Quote:

Per-(Re)Actor allocators can be implemented without any changes within (Re)Actor itself (i.e. all the necessary changes can be confined to Infrastructure Code).

Using Parallel (algorithm) Without a Clue: 90x Performance Loss Instead of 8x Gain

Abstract:

I made an experiment which demonstrates Big Fat Dangers(tm) of implying that parallelization can be made as simple as just adding a policy parameter to your std:: call.
