Performance difference between Windows and Linux using Intel compiler: looking at the assembly

I am running a program on both Windows and Linux (x86-64). It has been compiled with the same compiler (Intel Parallel Studio XE 2017) with the same options, and the Windows version is 3 times faster than the Linux one. The culprit is a call to std::erf which is resolved [...] read more

Efficient integer floor function in C++

"Simulate" a 32-bit integer overflow in JavaScript

JavaScript can handle the following Math just fine: var result = (20000000 * 48271) % 0x7FFFFFFF; But in some programming languages, that first int*int multiplication results in a value too large to hold in a standard 32 bit integer. Is there any way to "simulate" this in JavaScript, and see [...] read more

Java Integer.MAX_VALUE vs Kotlin Int.MAX_VALUE

I noticed, one interesting thing. Java's Integer.MAX_VALUE is 0x7fffffff (2147483647) Kotlin's Int.MAX_VALUE is 2147483647 but if you write in Java: int value = 0xFFFFFFFF; //everything is fine (but printed value is '-1') in Kotlin: val value: Int = 0xFFFFFFFF //You get exception The integer literal does not conform to the [...] read more

type in vhdl corresponds to c-language: "uint32_t" or "unsigned long"

What's the closet data type in VHDL to the classic c-language data type "uint32_t", example: #include "stdint.h" void main() { uint32_t data = 0xFFFFFFFF; } From my understanding, VHDL's "positive" and "natural" types are just subsets of a signed "integer" type and are missing half of the range of c-langauge [...] read more
