In my class definition I just tag the range of variables I want to check, typically all of them. Basically it's a small class and a set of macros to simplify stuff. So I came up with my own approach, which I'll be adding to Framework4. I figured someone must have attacked this problem before, and I'm sure someone did, but googling on it I haven't found much about it.

Unfortunately, that adds a runtime cost and code size cost. One way to deal with this problem is to simply initialize all memory to zero first thing in the constructor. Until your bool ends up on a memory address with a zero in that byte. You forget to initialize a bool and in 255 cases of 256 you get 'true', so the code might appear to work if that's a reasonable initial value. In a local scope this is typically detected by the compiler, but for member variables in a class you're typically on your own. I don't think the GPU and CPU will meet anytime soon, although with more and more programmable GPUs and then stuff like Fusion I could imagine that the GPU and the SPUs might merge at some point, but I'm not convinced of that yet.Ī common source of undeterministic bugs that are hard to find is uninitialized variables. Then the GPU for graphics and a number of other embarrasingly parallel tasks. Then a larger number of tiny throughput oriented cores next to it for parallel but fairly independent tasks. Even in the future we will need at least one, but preferably two or three cores optimized for quickly crunching through sequential code.

I believe the model for future CPUs is something like what the PS3 has, with one main CPU and 6 smaller throughput oriented SPUs. So just slapping on more cores will not make things much faster and switching to the Larrabee model for CPUs is likely to make things slower even if you get an order of magnitude more raw throughput power.

At least when speaking of games, there will always be some sort of critical path through the game update code where each step needs input from previous steps.

I don't believe in Nvidia's prediction because of Amdahl's law. No model is going to "win", so I don't think Intel needs to be so defensive, nor do I believe in Nvidia's prediction that "the piece of hardware that runs sequential code will shrink to a tiny dot swimming in an ocean of ALUs" (I forgot the exact wording, but something like that).

CPU war not so interesting, because my prediction is that we still need to have both paradigms around. Still, even then, the Intel paper concludes that the previous generation GPU is 2.5x faster on average.Īnyway, I find the GPU vs. Although after a brief look at the actual paper I give Intel a bit more credit than the Nvidia spin of it. Via Rage3D I found this Nvidia blog post, which I found somewhat amusing. I just got my copy today, so I guess I'll have some reading on the flight. In the meantime, check out my article "Making it large, beautiful, fast and consistent – Lessons learned developing Just Cause 2" in GPU pro. So for the next two weeks this blog is likely to be silent. Tonight me and my fiance will get on the plane for China.
