[Solved] Xor logic in python

The trick is to recognize that you don’t have to test all the a up to x. For a^x == a+x, then a&x == 0. So we count the number of zeroes in the bitstring of x and then out answer is 2**count -1 test = int(input()) for _ in range(test): x = int(input()) print(2**bin(x)[2:].count(‘0’) … Read more

[Solved] How to predict performance of a program for smartphones developed on a pc

Rather than using benchmarks for the GPU, look at existing cross-platform applications with similar performance and see how it compares. Install it on your computer to make sure the intensiveness is similar (using whatever benchmarks you want), then install it on your android device to see if it can keep up to your expectations. You … Read more

[Solved] Why is the C# Task Parallel Library code slower than a normal for loop?

To get more accurate results, remove the calls to Console.WriteLine inside both loops. You will still see that parallel loop is slower, because of the reasons stated in the question comments. To get a better feel for why that is, use instead an overload of Parallel.For from here and set the property ParallelOptions.MaxDegreeOfParallelism to 4 … Read more

[Solved] Are there any known runtime performance issues Compiling to Java 6 bytecode with Java 7 [closed]

We see runtime performance issues compiling Java 6 bytecode with Java 7. Is that expected? No. It is not expected. It is possible … but I wouldn’t have predicted it, and I can’t think of an obvious explanation. What are the downsides/benefits of doing that? I can think of no real benefits to your problem … Read more

[Solved] What is Difference between Static Variable and Static method and Static Class? [duplicate]

A static variable is a variable: public static int whatever = 0; A static method is a method: public static void whatever() {} A static class is a class: public static class SomeInnerClass {} (A class can only have the static modifier when it is nested inside another class) Static variables and methods can be … Read more

[Solved] Counting down or Counting up, Which one is faster? [duplicate]

Never wonder; use Google Caliper to find out. Since there has been quite a bit of discussion around the relative weights of testing against zero vs. upper limit and incrementing vs. decrementing, here’s the Cartesian product of all these cases: import java.util.Random; import com.google.caliper.Runner; import com.google.caliper.SimpleBenchmark; public class Performance extends SimpleBenchmark { static final Random … Read more

[Solved] What is the most efficient way to zero all bits below the most significant set bit?

There’s no single instruction that can do this. BMI1 blsi dst,src can isolate the lowest set bit, not the highest. i.e. x & -x. If x86 had a bit-reversed version of blsi, we could use that, but it doesn’t. But you can do much better than what you were suggesting. An all-zero input is always … Read more

[Solved] Why is swapping elements of a []float64 in Go faster than swapping elements of a Vec in Rust?

Could the Rust program be written in an idiomatic way, to execute faster? Yes. To create a vector with a few elements, use the vec![] macro: let mut work: Vec<f64> = vec![0.0, 1.0]; for _x in 1..100000000 { work.swap(0, 1); } So is this code faster? Yes. Have a look at what assembly is generated: … Read more

[Solved] Why ‘IF’ made this code 2x faster as the output is the same and ‘IF’ make an extra check? [closed]

In words, the process you’re doing says “zero out the flags for all multiples of this number.” The if statement says “do the next step only if the current number is a prime.” The second sieve has to zero out all multiples of 2, then 3, then 4, … for every number in the sieve. … Read more
