Optimal Opus Blog About Recent Blog Posts A multi-dimensional ADT from first principles Thu, January 5, 2023 Multi-dimensional arrays are an abstract data type used in every single numerical program out there. They can be used to track tracers in 2D or 3D physics simulations, as matrices in linear algebra, as portfolios in financial modelling and in countless other scenarios. Let's dive into the foundations of a possible implementation in C.
What do Video games, statistics and data bases all have in common? They all need to use random number generators. But how does a deterministic machine generate randomness? Obviously the answer is it doesn't, but we've gotten pretty damn good at faking it. Let's learn how.
While the industry as a whole is moving towards cloud computing, some specific domains like HPC are still focused on running on-premises to run platform-optimized compiled code on parallel CPUs or GPUs.
