one of the reasons I rarely read press releases is that I don't believe in promises -- I believe in _incentives_. In this case, what will Qualcomm be incentivized to do? What are i…

indeed, open sourcing is only half (or even less) of the picture: who is driving the open source community and how it is driven (i.e. governing structure) are probably more importa…

> Does gcc use LLVM anywhere under the hood No

One thing I observed is that RVV code is usually slower in QEMU

LLVM now has another way to implement RTTI using the `CastInfo` trait instead of `classof`: https://llvm.org/doxygen/structllvm_1_1CastInfo.html But it's really just an implementat…

how did it do regalloc before instruction selection? How do you select the correct register class without knowing which instruction you're gonna use?

> I don’t know many good reasons for extrusive linked lists for one, its iterator won't be invalidated

Is it normal to spend 10minutes on tuning nowadays? Do we need to spend another 10 minutes upon changing the code?

It's likely that Swift compiler is using LLVM LIT ( https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/lit.html ), which is implemented in python, as the test driver

> In the end, programs will want probably to stay conservative and will implement only the core ISA Unlikely, as pointed out in sibling comments the core ISA is too limited. What m…

yes, it has been done for at least a decade if not more > Even more of a wild idea is to pair up two cores and have them work together this way I don't think that'll be profitable,…

The article is easy to follow but I think the author missed the e point: branchless programming (a subset of the more known constant time programming) is almost exclusively used in…

yes, the short answer is LLVM uses RegPressureTracker ( https://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1RegPressureTracker.htm... ) to do all those calculations. Slightly longer answer: I sh…

The scenario suitable for TBM is surprisingly limited so even nowadays many tunnels are still dig using the good’o way, mostly with explosives

Came to say Apple also did a great job on tagging my bois who are both grey-ish cats, even in pictures they faced backward, no idea how they did that

I thought the original comment meant “_for_ who doesn’t use X or Discord, here is the github mirror link”. There’s a “for” missing, and thus I think they agree with you

second this, it didn't show anything when I hovered over North America
