It’s likely that this information applies only to compute capabality 1.x, or cuda 2.0. More recent architectures and cuda 3.0 have more sophisticated global memory access and in fact “coalesced global loads” are not even profiled for these chips. Also, this logic can be applied to shared memory to avoid bank conflicts. A coalesced memory … Read more
This is a shorter and hopefully clearer answer… Yes, the endpoint is the URL where your service can be accessed by a client application. The same web service can have multiple endpoints, for example in order to make it available using different protocols.
Nothing much, to be honest. I would imagine that the word heap was simply taken with it’s everday (non-technical) usage and applied to these two concepts individually as reasonably good analogies. In the first case (tree data structure meaning), the description heap is most appropiate because “greater” objects are placed higher up in the tree … Read more
In C, the statement int a; when made at file scope, is a declaration and a tentative definition. You can have as many tentative definitions as you want, as long as they all match each other. If a definition (with an initializer) appears before the end of the translation unit, the variable will be initialized … Read more
It’s declared inside a closure, which means it can only be accessed there. If you want a variable accessible globally, you can remove the var: $(function(){ value = “10”; }); value; // “10” This is equivalent to writing window.value = “10”;.
Array sizes need to be known with ANSI 89 C. The 99 version of the spec removed this limitation and allowed for variable sized arrays. Here is the documentation no the GNU version of this feature http://www.cs.utah.edu/dept/old/texinfo/glibc-manual-0.02/library_toc.html#SEC49
The most effective way to break applications is to create GOD classes. Those are classes that keep track of a lot of information and have several responsibilities. One code change will most likely affect other parts of the class and therefore indirectly all other classes that use it. That in turn leads to an even … Read more
It means that you should put new code in new classes/modules. Existing code should be modified only for bug fixing. New classes can reuse existing code via inheritance. Open/closed principle is intended to mitigate risk when introducing new functionality. Since you don’t modify existing code you can be assured that it wouldn’t be broken. It … Read more
A thread is an execution context, which is all the information a CPU needs to execute a stream of instructions. Suppose you’re reading a book, and you want to take a break right now, but you want to be able to come back and resume reading from the exact point where you stopped. One way … Read more
Try this ALTER TABLE `users` ADD `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT; for an existing primary key
