Last post I showed how to do multiplication for a vector of integers using ARM64 instructions. Lots of use cases require these kinds of operations to be performed in bulk. The Neon coprocessor has instructions that allow for the parallel loading and multiplication of numbers. Here’s my simplistic test of these instructions.
Continue readingLets start with the basics: we can multiply the cells two vectors in C code and disassemble the resulting binary. This is a trivial operation of multiplying each cell in the first vector by the corresponding cell in the second vector. It is not a cross product. This will be a naive implementation, but it should get us started.
Continue readingBased on previous experiences, I would be hard pressed to join a team that has Scrum masters.
I expect that my previous experience was extreme, but not outside expectations for an organization that felt the need to officially embrace Agile(tm) and the concept of agile practitioners as part of the development process. It has been a bit over a year, and my frustration at the process has had a bit of time to settle, but I still feel my virtual hackles rise up when I think about the process.
