  2. Duff's device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff's_device

    In the C programming language, Duff's device is a way of manually implementing loop unrolling by interleaving two syntactic constructs of C: the do-while loop and a switch statement. Its discovery is credited to Tom Duff in November 1983, when Duff was working for Lucasfilm and used it to speed up a real-time animation program.

  3. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    Switch expressions are introduced in Java SE 12, 19 March 2019, as a preview feature. Here a whole switch expression can be used to return a value. There is also a new form of case label, case L-> where the right-hand-side is a single expression. This also prevents fall through and requires that cases are exhaustive.

  4. Test and test-and-set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_and_Test-and-set

    In computer architecture, the test-and-set CPU instruction (or instruction sequence) is designed to implement mutual exclusion in multiprocessor environments. Although a correct lock can be implemented with test-and-set, the test and test-and-set optimization lowers resource contention caused by bus locking, especially cache coherency protocol overhead on contended locks.

  5. Instruction scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_scheduling

    Local (basic block) scheduling: instructions can't move across basic block boundaries. Global scheduling: instructions can move across basic block boundaries. Modulo scheduling: an algorithm for generating software pipelining, which is a way of increasing instruction level parallelism by interleaving different iterations of an inner loop.

  6. Branch table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table

    This pointer function method can result in saving one machine instruction, and avoids the indirect jump (to one of the branch instructions). The resulting list of pointers to functions is almost identical to direct threaded code, and is conceptually similar to a control table. The actual method used to implement a branch table is usually based on:

  7. Free Fire (video game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Fire_(video_game)

    Free Fire Max is an enhanced version of Free Fire that was released in 2021. [ 71 ] [ 72 ] It features improved High-Definition graphics , sound effects , and a 360-degree rotatable lobby. Players can use the same account to play both Free Fire Max and Free Fire , and in-game purchases, costumes, and items are synced between the two games. [ 73 ]

  8. Test-and-set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-and-set

    Those that do not can still implement an atomic test-and-set using a read-modify-write or compare-and-swap instruction. The test and set instruction, when used with boolean values, uses logic like that shown in the following function, except that the function must execute atomically. That is, no other process must be able to interrupt the ...

  9. Infinite loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

    In computer programming, an infinite loop (or endless loop) [1] [2] is a sequence of instructions that, as written, will continue endlessly, unless an external intervention occurs, such as turning off power via a switch or pulling a plug.
