Ah nice, what're you doing with it?


I've only just built a system capable of running it so right now I'm learning how to wield it.

Having a 'SIMT' system that can throw hundreds of thousands of threads at a problem (up to ~24000 of which can be executing at any given instant with nearly zero context switch overhead) requires quite a different approach in code design than I'm presently used to :-)

You mean, without bugs? ;-)

Ah well, when my dad learned programming he had to wait 2 days before his program was being processed (the university had a so-called 'calculation centre')
Not very nice for debugging either, so you had to prepare things better before coding.

I took a bunch of codeine (Never fear concerned citizens, I have a prescription) and read a book for 7 hours.

I spent last night at my parents' house after dog-sitting for a week, drinking to make myself tired so I could fall asleep to avoid the horrible atmosphere in their house, then got up this morning to go home and re-repress the resentment...
Code: [Select]
10  IT\'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
20  FOR C = 1 TO 2
30     DA-NA-NAAAA-NAAAA DA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAA
40     DA-NA-NAAAA-NAAAA DA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAAA
50  NEXT C
60  NA-NA-NAAAA
70  NA-NA NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAA NAAA-NAAAAAAAAAAA
80  GOTO 10

I spend my friday nights watching the TV and talking on IRC. I sometimes play games on the amiga provided I have one set up.
