@Flp.Tkc History lesson: British put taxes on us (like taxing tea and letting soldiers stay in your house even though they had day jobs and pay from mother britannia) to pay for the french-and-indian war.

does anyone have a feeling for how much slower multiplying two complex numbers should be than multiplying two floats?

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

We spent like a half-semester talking about it, then another semester about before/after.

Flp.Tkc

3:53 PM

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC I know about it, I'm just saying they don't teach it in British schools

Martin Ender

@Lembik much. I remember I was able to speed up some numerical code by a factor of 5 or so, just by extracting the multiplication of a (complex) common factor from a loop, so that there was only a complex*real multiplication left inside the loop.

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

Oh. Tell theresa may!

Lembik

@MartinEnder Well that's surprising!

Martin Ender

why?

a float multiplication is a single processor instruction

Lembik

@MartinEnder Because on paper you seem to need 3 mults two multiply two floats

plus 2 additions

Martin Ender

3:55 PM

@Lembik best way to tell is to write a simple C script with real*real, real*complex and complex*complex, run it through valgrind --tool=callgrind and count the cycles for each

Flp.Tkc

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC oh yes, the Prime Minister that nobody elected.

It's where a bunch of users get together to make some sort of game (typically). In past years we've made chess and checkers programs/AIs.

We are still in the concept phase for this year, so we need to figure out who's interested in participating and what people want to do for the project.

Flp.Tkc

alright. I'll keep an eye on the room

Dennis

@TuxCopter The Tiny C Compiler allows you to write C scripts, with shebang and everything

Lembik

@Dennis Hi.. Another simple question. Did you implement Glynn or Ryser?

I am guessing Glynn

Dennis

(I thought I replied to you yesterday.) I don't remember the name, but it's the slower one of the two.

Lembik

@Dennis oh sorry I must have missed the reply. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_the_permanent#Ryser_formula this one?

So not the one where you divide by 2^(m-1) at the end?

Dennis

4:17 PM

@Lembik No, not that one. I was going to implement it for even dimensions, until I saw the C++ answer had done the same. At some point, I just gave up.

Martin Ender

@Lembik I'd imagine that also doing 3 additions, 2 subtractions and requiring several temporary pieces of float data will be a bit more expensive than 3 multiplication processor instructions, but I have no intuition by how much

Lembik

@Dennis why might it be better for even dimensions? I haven't understood that yet

Dennis

@MartinEnder Depends on the CPU. The latest Intel processors do 64-bit multiplications in one cycle (latency of three cycles).

@Lembik It's better for all dimensions. However, all multiplicands in odd dimensions will be odd, meaning that gcc's 128-bit type only gets you so far. When the dimension is even, the multiplicands are all even, so you can divide by 2 in each step.

Lembik

@Dennis I still haven't fully understood your code. What is happening here permanent % BILLION, permanent /= BILLION; ? I mean, what part of the formula does this correspond to?

@Dennis aha!

Dennis

@Lembik That's not related to the formula. There's no built-in way to print 128-bit integers (printf only works up to 64 bits), so I have to do a little base conversion.

Lembik

4:24 PM

@Dennis oh ok that's really helpful. In case you were wondering, I am trying to write fast code to compute the permanent for floats. I was hoping to leverage your genius :)

but my coding skills are nowhere near yours

Dennis

When it comes to floats, they might very well be. I avoid them like the plague.

Lembik

@Dennis as far as I can tell it will mostly just involve removing parts of your code

that were specialised to ints

I assume there is nothing special you can add

and you may be pleased to hear that Intel have acknowledged a bug in their compiler based on your code :)

DJMcMayhem

7

Woot woot! \o/

Dennis

@Lembik Yeah, much of the code deals with optimizing for large integers, such as the part that does a bunch of 64-bit multiplications first to avoid the costly 128-bit multiplications.

@Lembik Wait, seriously? :D

Lembik

Yep

turns out openmp can't handle your 128 bit int type

well not properly

Dennis

4:30 PM

@DJMcMayhem Congrats! Remember: With great badges come great hammering privileges.

Lembik

the fix is to replace your pragma line with

Dennis

@Lembik I'm surprised it supports it at all. I though __int128 was a GNU extension.

Lembik

#pragma omp declare reduction(add128: int128_t: omp_out = omp_out + omp_in) initializer(omp_priv = 0)
[...]
#pragma omp parallel for reduction(add128:permanent) num_threads(NUM_THREADS)

Lembik

ok so code-golf challenge idea. Consider a matrix where each column describes a discrete probability distribution. That is each column is made from floats in the range 0..1 which sum to 1

Dennis

@TimmyD Had the hardest time figuring out why sort sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Turns out that's by design; Microsoft removed all conflicting aliases from "PowerShell for every system", so you're actually invoking Linux's sort.

@Dennis Yeah. v1 to v2 was the biggest change -- v1 is practically unusable, and why I preface most of my answers with "v2+" ... v3 added some new commands and aliases, but not as big of a jump. Same with v4. I don't think v5 added any new aliases, but I could be wrong.

MayhemgoatDJ

btw, does retina have an alias for a-z

TimmyD

@Dennis Yeah, that's on their alpha release branch. I've never used it. v5.1.something.something.something.something is the latest stable. I would imagine that the Linux branch is considered alpha or beta, so that would make sense.

ais523

@Sp3000: what's the blank line in the polyglot for? I found a promising language to add but it doesn't like blank lines

in other news, I have a rules question: say you release a language via putting an interpreter online, then after that someone posts a problem to the sandbox that that language would be good at, then you realise that you want to make changes to the language but they don't affect the problem

if you change the language, how can you prove that you didn't make changes to help with the problem? nobody can tell that you didn't update the interpreter

(the spec's also online on Esolang, so you could see when the spec was edited…)

MayhemgoatDJ

brb writing plugin which auto-generate TIO permalink for your answer

TimmyD

@DJMcGoathem Saw the footnote regarding placing flags on beaches. Expected Eddie Izzard. Clicked link. Was not disappointed. 10/10

Martin Ender

@ais523 without looking, I'm guessing it's for Retina

ais523

5:52 PM

that seems less likely after the Retina robustness changes, but it's possible

Martin Ender

@ais523 good faith?

@ais523 you definitely can't remove the line without breaking Retina, but it doesn't need to be empty

Luis Mendo

how can you prove How is good faith a prove? :-)

ais523

ooh, I have another problem

DJMcGoathem

@KritixiLithos Well, you can use <M-*> so that you don't need to escape the asterisk, but other than that I don't think you can do anything shorter

ais523

I've found another good language to use, but the released interpreter online contains a typo

it's obvious what the typo is, though, and it's trivially fixable

does that count as having an existing interpreter?

Martin Ender

5:55 PM

@LuisMendo the answer is you can't, because that's not even a well-defined question

hence good faith

Kritixi Lithos

@DJMcGoathem I can't make the **** shorter?

MayhemgoatDJ

@MartinEnder I did something like it once for cheddar so I don't think the parsing sould be too complicated but adding something like \l for lowercase alphabet and \L for uppercase alphabet would be super-cool feature (for Retina)

Martin Ender

@MayhemgoatDJ the problem is that it would require parsing the regex at all, which I'm putting off for as long as possible

DJMcGoathem

@KritixiLithos Not that I'm aware of

Martin Ender

well at least I'd have to tokenise it

but yeah

Luis Mendo

5:58 PM

@MartinEnder I know. I was just being nitpicking :-P

DJMcGoathem

@LuisMendo Not cool man, not cool... :P

Luis Mendo

@MayhemgoatDJ I like vihan.org's dark mode better :-)

I didn't know you had so many languages. Does it use TIO under the hood?

MayhemgoatDJ

@MartinEnder ((?:^|[^\\])(?:\\.)*)\\l -> $1[A-Z] seems to work pretty good :P (though it doesn't exactly work in character groups

@LuisMendo yup, they are merely different front-ends, but both use the same backend (TIO's)
