Correction regarding the run-queue, this is not completely correct, :S . But the stalled cycles and memory accesses still holds. Sorry for the misinformation. On Friday, December 7, 2012 8:25:14 PM UTC-5, Lee wrote: > > > I've been running compute intensive (multi-day), highly parallelizable >

Lee: I ran Linux perf and also watched the run queue (with vmstat) and your bottleneck is basically memory access. The CPUs are idle 80% of the time by stalled cycles. Here's what I got on my machine. Intel Core i7 4 cores with Hyper thread (8 virtual processors) 16 GiB of Memory Oracle JVM an

Newtonian Dance: A "live" performance with Newtonian and Quil.

2012-08-26 Thread meteorfox
Hi, http://youtu.be/xiqWclsXdcc I just wanted to share a "live" performance with Newtonian and Quil. The video has better frame rate than the first one, which shows better the fluidity of the particles , I changed the colors of the particles and also increased their size. Instead of recording

Particle system with Quil

2012-08-25 Thread meteorfox
I've been working in a particle system using Quil for rendering, which I'm calling Newtonian for now ;) , just to practice some of the concepts of protocols and defrecords. The project is still WIP. Any feedback will be appreciate it. github.com: https://github.com/meteorfox/newton
