You lose all the line numbers when you compile the code, unless you build it with the debugging info, which takes up valuable bytes. And when it has been optimised, the lines can be reordered or removed completely. You don't always even get function names, just the address of the function in memory....
I just want to point out that the processors are grouped by TDP families, and Intel don't bother with a category between <84W and <65W. The difference between a 84W i5-4670 and a 65W i5-4570S is almost entirely due to the lower clock speed, (power proportional to clock speed) the processor voltages ...
Also consider the other Ivy bridge E3-12xxV2 chips, especially if you don't need a powerful GPU, and would be happy with the integrated graphics. The E5-1620 is Sandy Bridge EP which uses socket 2011, which is usually more expensive than the socket 1155. It does give quad channel ram and more PCIe l...
Your i7-975 is also pretty old. The W3580 almost a i7-975 with a different label on the box. If you want a new xeon of comparable performance to it, then something from the E3-12xx range would do. E3-1240 at 3.3GHz. It will run a bit faster than an i7-975 or W3580 as it is slightly more efficient (m...
It sounds like you want an array of struts. Have a struct represent a battery, and then create an array of batteries typedef struct { int Voltage; int Current; int Status; int ... } Battery; int ReadBattery(battery* b, int* buffer) { b->Voltage = buffer[0]; b->Current = buffer[1]; ... } Battery batt...
My idea is to use a run of zeros as a unary encoding of how many bits will be used to represent the following number, and then encode the number using just those bits. So encoding 5 would be: 000101, and encoding 128 would be 0000000010000000. I think the worst case for this algorithm is a whole ru...
Storing an ordered list of numbers is much easier than storing an unordered list in the original order. Insertion sort is an obvious first choice if you don't have the list of input in RAM but are reading it from a stream. Possibly really expensive computationally, but you don't have much storage to...
I wish I understood that math better so I could calculate the distribution of numbers and come up the an expected distribution of spacings. Write a program that generates a million random numbers, sorts them, and then generates a histogram of the spacing distribution. Run it a couple of times. What...
I would be tempted just to plug the SSD into the new build and see if it works. You probably want to try uninstalling as many motherboard drivers as you can before making the switch. You might need to do a repair install, or fix boot or something if the change to UEFI breaks the boot sequence. Worst...
An Intel NIC is nice, though I cant say I have had any problems that I could pin down to an integrated Realtek controller. If I was choosing between two pretty similar boards, I first look at fan controls. So when I bought a P67 board, I went with ASUS for the fan control, but I couldn't justify pay...
I feel I need to counterpoint. I bought eight sticks of low-ish latency (9), standard voltage (1.5V), high quality DDR3-1600 for about 150$ a few weeks ago. 150$ doesn't go all that far for a decent sized SSD. I'm planning for a Samsung 256GB towards the end of summer, but that'll be nearly 2X what...
Not sure that you want to go straight to 16GB just for gaming. I would just get a pair of 4GB sticks, and stick the money saved towards something else (probably a future SSD). Yes, ram is cheap, but still no point in paying for something that you are barely using. Games barely use 2GB. You aren't us...
for(openlist_Iterator=openlist.begin();openlist_Iterator!=openlist.end();openlist_Iterator++) //find the lowest F cost square { (*openlist_Iterator)[2][0]+(*openlist_Iterator)[2][1]; } not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but [] is higher precedence than *, and the iterator doesnt have a [] ...
I wouldn't bother with the HDDs in RAID 0, just get a bigger drive. What is the RAID giving you, a fraction of a second faster level loads? The Momentus XT didnt review particularly well. I would be curious to see what ReadyBoost would do with a small SSD (<=40GB), but nobody seems to have benched i...
I got my work system up to 61GB committed out of 24 physical on Friday. (Then realised I was leaking 600MB each trip round a loop, oops). Got an error message because Win 7 couldn't show the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen, and I had to resort to the power button because Task Manager wasn't responding. Previous...
Difficult to recommend a $60-70 cooler when you could put the money towards a i5-2500K or at least an X6 1090. Silent PC Review focuses more on noise than cooling performance, but gives you a list to work from. Lots of other sites will do cooler roundups with their own slightly different focus, but ...
What is the current rig that isnt fast enough? CPU - 2600K - No faster than the 2500K for gaming. If the 2500K isnt fast enough for video editing, do you want to hold off a bit longer for Sandy Bridge-E, and pick up a hex core (or go for a socket 1366 hex core build now?), rather than taking the ~10...
Will respond shortly. Here's a friends comments. Thoughts? I disagree with the points made about taking out the HDDs and upgrading the SSD. I'm using a SSD now (Agility 2), and have thus far been pretty unimpressed. For the most part, it performs pretty much the same as two "average" HDDs...
60GB is doable, but cramped for a boot disk. At home I have had no problems, but just have win 7 and office/utility apps on the SSD, no games. At work I had to disable hibernation (64GB disk, 24GiB hiberfil.sys), and move projects about to keep the free space tolerable. With Z68, I would be tempted ...
I am big on multi-tasking and pretty multimedia heavy. Mostly internet browsing, email, word processing, music & audio [large growing collection], then video, audio & photo editing, HD. The first half of this list shouldn't tax a modern desktop. So the question is how much money you want to...
If you are at all concerned that you are not going to have the funds later, you certainly cannot afford it now either. Tech prices tend not to go up. Wait until your current system feels slow, and spend what you can afford. If it is ok for speed now, a new monitor or SSD might satisfy the itch to up...
The second one had a bad Windows installation, so I did a reinastall and it is fine and stable now. Any ideas what caused the Windows problems? If you install windows once and it doesn't work, then reinstall windows a second time and it does, without changing anything else, then I would be somewhat...
What do you actually want to get out of it? Mean, variance, probability distribution graph, cumulative distribution graph? The first two are calculable without resorting to a random number generator, and the graphs are easy enough to plot by generating all 216 values in excel with a tiny amount of c...
Power consumption You save a watt or so. I wouldn't buy an SSD looking to get an improvement on battery life. The dm1z has a 60Wh battery and a 5-6 hour battery life, so you are looking at < 10%. The Asus K53E got similiar numbers
Sandy Bridge is dual channel, so you want 2 sticks of ram or 4 sticks. 2x4GB is reasonably priced compared to 4x2GB. 12GB would be 3x4GB or 2x4GB + 2x2GB, either being slightly inefficient. Honestly, if you are upgrading from 2, then 8 is going to be plenty, and not much point in dropping another ~€...
Where are you in Europe, and someone might give you a suggestion for retailer. Normally I would use scan.co.uk or overclockers.co.uk, but we can probably find you somewhere actually in the euro-zone. Now, for gaming, internet and watching videos, your build seems overspecced, you can get almost all ...
Simple test - drop the resolution and/or AA/AF levels you are currently using by a couple of notches. If the game is still slow, then you need a new system. But with an X4 @ 3GHz this is pretty unlikely, you are not that far behind the curve. Instead I suspect most games will be quite playable, and ...
Saving and restoring it might even cost you write cycles if the size of the disk is larger than the size of the genuinely temporary files that you are not writing to the disk. What are you talking about? Again, I feel like you just made that up. He uses it as cache for internet explorer. When he's ...
