#intel have just #accelerated their #raytracing #performance on their #gpu 's with a *single line of code* that #allocates #memory #locally , rather than on the #system https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Vulk.. The change increases performance by *100%!*
Okay, this #papertape #reader is pretty awesome! https://hackaday.com/2022/04/16/paper-ta.. In #theory it could be a way to get large amounts of high #reliable #memory for #storage !
Interesting, the #eu are claiming have brought #peace to #europe - but they are only 30 tears old, whereas #nato is 70 years old: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ar_mQiX-kIo Apparently the #eu was awarded the #noble #peace #prize - despite #nato having done all the work! Talking about having a short #memory ...
I *really* like this #solidstate #memory #drive #idea using #dip #switches that puts 4 #bytes in your pocket: https://hackaday.com/2022/01/23/diy-soli.. For me the #attraction is a #drive that cannot be #corrupted , that can be easily #debugged , etc. I think it needs at least 256 bytes to be useful though for example in #space #applications or as some kind of #foolproof #boatload #rom !
Disgusting, #china 's #ccp have forced the #removal of the #tiananmensquare #statue in #hongkong #university which served in #memory of those who lost their lives in #protest against #communists https://www.lotuseaters.com/hong-kong-ti.. Makes you really sick.
Surprise, C is one of the most #energy #efficient #languages out there: https://hackaday.com/2021/11/18/c-is-the.. C generally scores well on #time , #memory and #energy ...
Interesting, a #database #search #query can cause a #write to #disk in some corner cases, especially if #working #memory is limited: https://www.mutuallyhuman.com/blog/how-a.. Definitely worth knowing such a thing!
This problem of #delayed #memory #allocation bit me years ago: https://lemire.me/blog/2021/10/27/in-c-h.. *Apparently* - if #linux fails to #allocate #memory it should return #null - but this is not true at all. Worse still, #free 'ing memory can also be delayed!
Highly interesting #data #compression #library that is suitable for #fixed #memory #embedded #applications ! https://github.com/atomicobject/heatshri.. I will most definitely be keeping an eye on this for the #linuxpda project!
Huh nice, there might be a very easy way to gain extra #memory on an #arduino #nano simply due to it being hidden by the #bootloader https://hackaday.com/2021/06/20/arduino-..
3D #cache #memory was a matter of time: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16725/amd.. I still think more works needs to be in order to make it work more optimally, but I believe this is a move in the right direction for future memory architecture.
#memory attacks are becoming more and more of a problem: https://therecord.media/google-says-rowh.. Bare in mind that most of the modern CPU attacks are also some form of timing attack to workaround speed issues caused by shared memory access. We *really* need a better solution for this problem. The next big computer speedup will likely come from a new memory architecture that gets rid of locks entirely.
