Jack Whitham: April 2015
http://blog.jwhitham.org/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 26 April 2015. Relative speed of Raspberry Pi, Pi 2, and desktop PC (x86 and AMD64). Posts described my attempts to build a benchmark program from the Quake 2 source code, to complement a similar program I made. From the Doom source code. The main issues have been related to floating-point numbers; much of the effort has gone into discovering why the rendered output from Quake 2 was slightly different with different GCC configurations, different CPUs and different math libraries. Both benchmarks ...

Jack Whitham: May 2015
http://blog.jwhitham.org/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 3 May 2015. Review: UndoDB, a reversible debugger. This is a review of a reversible debugger. It's a debugger for Linux, with GDB compatibility, which means it is a drop-in replacement for debugger frontends on the Linux platform (e.g. Eclipse, DDD, and also the IDE I use at work. Which is GNAT Programming Studio. Like recent versions of GDB, it is able to "run" code backwards. Like features provided by IDEs, or the invaluable error-detection capabilities of Valgrind. I first saw a reversible deb...
