Hate to say it, but in a way your idea has already come and gone. Back in the day there were math co processors, and although GPUs in a way are be coming math co processors of sorts I don't think general hardware trends are moving in the direction you seem to be talking about. Obviously there...
I will be the first to say it, I am not one really for hardware design, but I do know quite a lot about how the hardware processes instructions most for optimization purposes. Like in the cell you have to know which PPC instructions are micro-encoded rather than hardware encoded thus forcing the...
I am a doctoral student in Computer Science working with embedded systems. Lots of robotics and networked sensors. As a hobby though I have been working on writing optimized crypto libraries for the PS3, which is what brought me to do most of my research in to Generalized Computer on Graphic...
Since you obviously don't bother to read anything I post, I don't know why I continue and bother with this, but in the link you posted I assume you are referring to the "Ultra-Threaded Dispatch Processor" as this is the only thing that seems relevant in the article. Not to mention the fact that...
I think you have some confusion as to what threads are Wikipedia. Processors execute instructions, threads are a design concept that are for right or wrong ever increasingly being used to manage and feed multiple processors instructions. You are exactly right that when a SIMD instruction is...
I understand that the design process between the two is different in some regards, and your absolutely they could not keep up to their release schedule without automated design tools, but i also think it is worth wild to note that the component that usually gets the upgrade or at least the more...
OK I will start with your threading comment since you this is one of my biggest pet peeves. You do realize that threads have nothing to do with GPU or CPU hardware. Threads are an Operating System concept to implement a multi-programming environment. Notice I said multi-programming as in appear...
I don't think there is really any question, as far as technical abilities I think GPU's take the cake, but you have to understand that is entirely based upon where the GPU designers are coming from apposed to where the CPU designers are coming from. It is one thing to build a new custom...
In C++ semantics this will/should throw a Floating point exception in that the parens () will cause the 1 and the 5 to be divided as integers which will yield .20 in decimal math but 0 in integer division so you will get a good old divide by zero exception.
this should work in all numerical...
probably just as reliable would be to hash the file. MD5 although no longer considered a secure hash function still has some uses here. It is definitely more processor intensive than checking stat but it is a lot more accurate in that it would be much much harder to modify the file and trick...
I had the same thing happen to me in a parking lot once. The lady demolished my back quarter section and her bargin basement insurance company refused tried to say that I hit her and denied my claim. Luckily my father is an insurance attorney so we just filled suit and had to wait for their...
I recently before the semester break got and Oink invite from a friend and signed up for an account. Unfortunatly I did not log in for a while over the break, and it took me a while do to some family drama to get all setup in my new house with a consistent internet connection. Anyway now my...
