We'll discuss the role of bespoke implementation and show that writing programs that utilize novel data structures and new algorithms designed with knowledge of the specific problem context is a necessary complement to the generic components and automatic optimizations offered by compilers and modern JVMs to maximize performance.<p><a href="http://adrianmarriott.sys-con.com/node/649827" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Tue, 03 Mar 2009 08:45:00 EST http://adrianmarriott.sys-con.com/node/649827 http://adrianmarriott.sys-con.com/node/649827#feedback
