AI is rapidly changing. By the time we write about the latest features and performance benchmarks, they are replaced by newer features and benchmarks. But are all those features and benchmarks noticed by users? Perhaps. The speed of change in AI shouldn’t stop us from taking a snapshot of the user experience. Even with rapidly […]| MeasuringU

Lately I’ve been trying to find (and understand) the limits of time syncing between Linux systems. How accurate can you get? What does it take to get that? And what things can easily add measurable amounts of time error? After most of a month (!), I’m starting to understand things. This is kind of a follow-on to a previous post, where I walked through my setup and goals, plus another post where I discussed time syncing in general. I’m trying to get the clocks on a bunch of Linux systems...| scottstuff.net

While working on a paper about allocation profiling in VMProf I got curious about how quickly the RPython GC can allocate an object. I wrote a small RPython benchmark program to get an idea of the order of magnitude. The basic idea is to just allocate an instance in a tight loop: classA(object):passdefrun(loops):# preliminary idea, see belowforiinrange(loops):a=A()a.i=i The RPython type inference will find out that instances of A have a single i field, which is an integer. In addition to that...| PyPy

I started out today on my paddle board session by heading out into the wind. The reason for heading out into the wind is that it makes for an easier trip back. But, as we all know, winds will do as they please and on this day, they decided to change direction and stiffen. The wind got so strong that at times it seemed as if I wasn’t making any forward progress at all. But, I wasn’t worried as I was following the shoreline and so I always had an easy exit. I figured, as long as I’m makin...| Random Notes and Cheat Sheets

Delegates are a fundamental part of the .NET runtime and whilst you rarely create them directly, they are there under-the-hood every time you use a lambda in LINQ (=>) or a Func<T>/Action<T> to make your code more functional. But how do they actually work and what’s going in the CLR when you use them?| Performance is a Feature!
