| | | | | If you build an application that uses large, contiguous amounts of memory, it can increase your performance if you allocate this memory in so-called huge pages. Linux offers you two ways of doing that - a legacy way and a modern way. This article describes the modern way of using huge pages, so called transparent huge pages (THP) and applies the techniques from a previous article to verify that we actually got huge pages. The article starts by giving a super-short recap on how paging works and why huge p... | |

| | | | | [AI summary] The blog post discusses the implementation of Conway's Game of Life using Python with optimized techniques such as SWAR (Shift and Arithmetic Word) and parallel processing. The author leverages Python's native integer operations for SIMD-like acceleration, eliminating the need for explicit SIMD instructions. They also use SDL2 for rendering and achieve high frame rates through parallel execution across multiple processes. The post highlights performance gains, comparing the optimized approach with naive implementations and exploring potential further optimizations using lower-level languages or GPU acceleration. | |

| | | Back in 2013, I started a series of posts on programming languages I found interesting. One of the languages I wanted to write about at that time was Rust. As often happens, life got in the way, and it's only now that I'm coming round to a long overdue post. This is one of a series of posts on programming languages and you can read more about thathere. | ||
