Man goes to doctor. Says he is CEO of AI startup but has no idea how to become profitable. Doctor says solution is simple. Advanced model GPT-4 is in town. Ask it how to profit, and it will surely know the answer. Man bursts into tears. “But doctor” he says “you are GPT-4”

Rust is a hipster language for disgruntled C++ programmers. Golang is a production language for disgruntled c programmers. :)

Follow up to the Rust target-features post where I (over)examine the differences with target-cpu flag (because what else am I going to do during lockdown) - nickwilcox.com/blog/target_c…

Target Feature vs Target CPU for Rust

In the previous article on auto-vectorization we looked at the different SIMD instruction set families on X86-64. We saw how he target-feature compiler flag and #[target_feature()] attribute gave us...

I wrote a post about a grouping of concurrent algorithms into performance "levels". I use this mental model to more quickly map out the design space and dismiss alternatives that aren't likely to provide a performance boost. travisdowns.github.io/blog/2… Feedback warmly welcomed.

A Concurrency Cost Hierarchy

Concurrent operations can be grouped relatively neatly into categories based on their cost

New blog post, looking at auto-vectorization again, this time with AVX and AVX2: nickwilcox.com/blog/autovec2…

Auto-Vectorization for Newer Instruction Sets in Rust

In the previous article on auto-vectorization we treated instructions as either SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) or non-SIMD. We also assumed that SIMD meant four values at a time.

Blog post on auto-vectorisation in Rust nickwilcox.github.io/blog/au… #rustlang

Taking Advantage of Auto-Vectorization in Rust

Recently on a project I wrote some audio processing code in Rust. In the past I’ve used C++ to write audio processing code for situations where performance was critical. I wanted to take that C++...

Did you know Laurence Fishburne was originally supposed to play Jules in ‘Pulp Fiction’? In a turn of events, Fishburne turned down the role, which then went to Samuel Jackson and caused a wave of ripple effects.
