Thread: Test My Code

Badass! Since this can actually take input from any device, is there any accelerometers which you can buy which hook up to a PC instead of being embedded in a phone? I know that's how the Android LDing app works for detecting REM, it'd be interesting to use it in your programs

You are a gentleman and a scholar. And one of the few that can see what I have discovered.
So yes, I bought the USB kind and hope you can find the patience to buy directly from the source.

Ooohhh, odd wording, but now I see it.

I feel like a nerd, I didn't have to look what Moore's Law is

And actually, Moore's law doesn't apply to the speed of RAM. RAM speed is pretty much maxed out. The chips might be faster, but the transfer rates have pretty much hit a wall That's why efficient use of the cache is becoming so important to compiler design and processor design. There is more cache on the processor than there used to be RAM on a computer.

I didn't expect anything less from you.

Well RAM speed isn't really maxed out. After DDR isn't going to get any better there are several possible RAM technologies which just aren't industrially useful or profitable yet.
A big restriction to everyday desktop RAM speeds is the huge amount of work necessery to overhaul the architectures for something completely new. Currently there's only a wall as long as we build it ourselves.

With enough work and a new architecture we could soon have PCs that don't need any RAM anymore due to the fact a harddrive has more than enough speed to deal with everything on it's own. But my guess is that it still will take several years to get there, if we get there sometime at all. Afterall systems aren't just developed for performance but rather for profit. As long as the two collide performance will always draw the short stick.

Heh, hadn't seen this post until now. I'm patiently awaiting the release of your hardware/software package deal
