Royce WilliamsMultithreaded CLI developers: let your users configure the number of threads.Entire classes of use cases are hiding inside that will make your life easier as a dev -- and <code>threads=1</code> is usually not hard to add.One example: if your multithreaded tool works significantly faster on a single file when I force your tool to just use a single thread and parallelize it with <code>parallel --pipepart --block</code> instead, then either:<ol><li>you might decide to develop sharding the I/O of the physical file yourself, or</li><li>you might consciously decide to not develop it, and leave that complexity to <code>parallel</code> (which is fine!)</li></ol>But if your tool has no <code>threads=N</code> option, I have no workaround.Configurable thread count lets me optimize in the meantime (or instead).<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CLI</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/multithreading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#multithreading</a>

Albert CardonaLeslie Lamport, of LaTeX fame, is a very accomplished mathematician and computer scientist with a Turing award for his work on “fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of distributed and concurrent systems”. He just published a draft of his new book:"A science of concurrent programs"<a href="https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/tla/science.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/tla/science.pdf</a>True to his pedagogic approach to everything he does, "The book assumes only that you know the math one learns before entering a university." Even the appendices are fantastic. Can only wish I'll remain this lucid at his 82 years old.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/multithreading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#multithreading</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/maths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#maths</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/LesleyLamport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LesleyLamport</a>

Dr. Robert M FlightAt what point does setting more threads for OpenBLAS actually help?For example, I have an SVD operation in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RStats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RStats</a> on largish matrices (6000 rows and 6000 columns; doing an inverse), where default BLAS on Ubuntu is ~ 20 min. OpenBLAS with 1 or 4 threads takes ~ 2 min (10X speedup!). With 4 threads, I can see the additional usage of cores, but overall time is the same as 1 thread. Is there some magic size where using more threads for SVD will actually help?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MultiThreading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MultiThreading</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenBLAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBLAS</a>

Sos SosowskiHmmm... I'm trying to implement multithreaded software rendering but no matter how many threads I throw at it, the result is always the same... why?Concurency Profiler shows there is no redundancy or blocking, and they're all render their proper share of sprites.Help!<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/multithreading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#multithreading</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/c" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#c</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/visualstudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#visualstudio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/retrodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrodev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/cprogramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cprogramming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/development" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#development</a>
