You are the project leader for a highly successful consumer product. One day you are asked to upgrade all of the devices in the field to add the latest “must have ...

Optimizations in programming have mostly been associated with more efficient data structures or algorithms. Any optimization that uses hardware resources explicitly is generally considered premature, ...

Java compilers take center stage in this second article in the JVM performance optimization series. Eva Andreasson introduces the different breeds of compiler and compares performance results from ...

VB.NET changes the way you write Visual Basic code. You learn quickly that most of the optimization tricks you've learned for VB6 won't work under VB.NET. For example, .NET memory allocation forces ...

However back-propagation is highly sensitive to the values used for its free parameters (learning rate, momentum and so on) and can frequently give terrible results. Evolutionary optimization is more ...

Even if your machine cycle times are shorter than average, there’s no reason not to strive for efficiency. Whether you parse through your code manually or use a G-code optimizer, improving your ...
