It's really strange, you see people claim the same on the Codes subreddit. I can also run Astra xHigh at least for a few days with my 20x, but I don't use any of the token hungry patterns like orchestrators and such (only the code

Is everyone rushing to launch something before Astra tomorrow?

The code in compilers is the closest to your typical app you can get in a benchmark like SPEC, eveerything else is actually far more specialized. Compiler code is full of small basic blocks, lots of branches, indirect memory access; it&#x27

I have the opposite problem with Code, it barely writes any comments even for fairly complex C++ code blocks (systems programming stuff), have to prompt it to add extra details about why it did something. Request in agents.md doesn't s

/code-review in Claude Code spawns a lot of sub-agents (counted like 8 once), each looking at the code from some certain aspect (like correctness, maintainability, duplication, testing, etc). It eats tokens like crazy doing that, but a

MSVC (Microsoft's C++ compiler) had an pretty advanced inter-procedural (LTO) way of doing devirtualization, but it was so buggy and slow that it eventually got disabled. It was trying to prove that a pointer can only target a certain

Sadly for them, Nvidia didn't stay still in the meantime and created the next generation of CUDA, CuTile for Python and soon for C++, through CUDA Tile IR (using a similar compiler stack based on MLIR). Event though it's not porta

Maybe OP was thinking about compilers "cracking" certain SPEC benchmarks: implementing exactly the optimization needed to boost a benchmark quite a lot, but that opt. probably won't apply to any other code out there (usually

They won't, Windows isn't even compiled with AVX2 extensions on, even though every CPU in the last 10y+ supports it, for the fear of it running on some machine that doesn't have AVX2. The whole "CPU unsupported" thi

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the main reason the new Win11 apps like Notepad, File Explorer, Task Manager have a slow UI and the piece-by-piece drawing issues is because they combine UWP (the "new" tech) with the old Win32

Thanks for the reply! I'm in WA, the moonlighting IP law seems very similar to CA. Both my contract and current HR guidance state that any invention is mine if done outside work hours, not using their hardware AND doesn't compete

How is performance compared to Graphviz? There are some large compiler Control flow graphs with 500+ nodes where Graphviz really starts to take a long time to build a layout (dozens of seconds or worse). Profiling dot a bit, saw that most t

That is just Intel grabbing some attention from the Threadripper 32 core announcement. It doesn't run at 5Ghz, that was heavily overclocked using a custom cooling system hidden under the table.

Interesting for developers is the improvement in compiling Chrome, and also the big hit from the Meltdown/Spectre patches on Intel on the same benchmark.
