Using Machine Language Subroutines For High Speed Vector Mathematics

Tagged Under : , ,

A number of years ago I worked on a project that required extensive manipulation of digital waveforms; the waveforms were stored in double precision floating point vectors (or arrays if you prefer). We quickly discovered that even when we compiled the programs we were not getting the speed required because of the loops needed to step through the entire vector. Not having any direct vector oriented operators such as those available in APL we decided to create our own subroutines that we could pass a vector to and have the operation done quickly in machine language.

Of course we gained a lot of speed but did get the downside of being tied to a particular hardware processor without reprogramming the assemble language code. But… notice how tight the RESET: loop is (three instructions) used in the sample program below… sweet!

A Guide to Java Programming

Tagged Under : , , , , ,

Many older languages, like C and Pascal, were procedural languages. Procedures (also called functions) were blocks of code that were part of a module or application. Procedures passed parameters (primitive data types like integers, characters, strings, and floating point numbers). Code was treated separately to data. You had to pass around data structures, and procedures could easily modify their contents. This was a source of problems, as parts of a program could have unforeseen effects in other parts. Tracking down which procedure was at fault wasted a great deal of time and effort, particularly with large programs. You are reading the right article if it's computer programming help that you seek.

Choosing Between a New Computer or Used Computer

Tagged Under : , ,

When times get tough and money is tight, people often put off buying new appliances - washers, dryers, toasters, TVs - and either fix the ones they have or buy a used or refurbished one. And the fact is, computers are appliances, too, sometimes the most popular ones of all, since they are now our “windows to the world,” as well as being the devices that everyone in every profession uses for work and people everywhere use for their entertainment.

Computer makers and big retailers have a big incentive to sell the “new and improved” message with every advance, big or small, in computing technology. But the fact is, not everyone needs the latest and greatest, and millions of people can do everything they need to do on models that are one, two or even five years old. How do you know what to buy? How do you go about choosing between a new or used computer?

Most people have virus protection on their computer. Programs can range in price and can be suitable for home and office computers. There are so many places to pick up a virus on the computer while using the internet that it is foolish to not have a software program designed to keep viruses away.
