I blogged about how to seed C++ random number engines

I analyzed a surprising performance result mentioned in the “I Just Wanted a Random Integer!” CppCon 2016 talk

Great talk about formalizing and verifying Linux-kernel memory ordering

Hmm. GCC compiles large C++ programs 10% faster if you increase its GC limit by passing --param ggc-min-heapsize=524288

I have started to play with the GPU offloading support in GCC.
