I have read this sentence "push hardware to the limit" one billion time on Internet. Would someone care to explain me what it is meaning, precisely ? I can write in 5 mn a piece of code that uses 100% CPU time during 10 years on whatever CPU you want and makes ... Nothing ! As most of those who use this sentence don't understand that, how do you want them to understand the practical differences between a general purpose multi-core CPU and a distributed parallel one !! As a pure genious like Carmack stated years ago, there is a paradygm shift in complexity of coding between mono-thread model programming and multi-thread model one. He was reluctant to go in this direction (you have now an idea how it is difficult) but was forced due to the fact that the whole CPU industry was aiming in this direction. Look what he succeeded to provide ! You have to understand that there is a paradygm shift in complexity between multi-thread model to distributed parallel one ! Are the things more clearer regarding the laziness of programmers on PS3 !? (i can continue if you want) |
yes please continue it's really interesting and instructive... I4m always up for a pice of knowledge :)
