"I lost confidence in the [CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics] because some of the data were ancient and some more modern, but generally, there was no references to the data, so I could not check the reliability."MFW the one true reference book in physical science used to have a lower standard than Wikipedia articles. ​:woozy_baa:​

How to divide or interleave a bunch of integers into subgroups...

Usually: A long chain of multiplications, divisions, and modulus operations.

Power-of-2 size: Just extract or mix some bits.

Q: Which GPU is best suited for n-body simulations?

A: GeForce 600 (Kepler).

GPU programming be like: "64 K ought to be enough for anybody."

Good meownyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The 3D domain decomposition situation seems to be better than I expected. AMD GCN has 4 SIMD units per Compute Unit, each has 64 KiB of private registers. If the data is read into registers instead of memory, it frees up Local Memory for ghost cell sharing within a CU. The only real drawbacks are registers cannot be indexed, so I may need to auto-generate a kernel with several hundred lines of spaghetti code. Occupancy consideration also means only a fraction of registers is usable. ​:thinking_cirno:​

Q: What do you say when Xeon Phi's is discontinued?

A: Intel has dropped the MIC.

It's called CenturyLink because it takes a century to download anything.

You know you're writing SYCL code when a "Hello, world" takes 10 seconds to compile.

All symmetric ciphers are O(1), but some ciphers are more O(1) than others.
