I wrote Reciprocal because I couldn’t find a nice implementation of div-by-mul in Rust without data-dependent behaviour. Why do I care? Like ridiculous fish mentions in his review of integer divisions on M1 and Xeon, certain divisors (those that lose a lot of precision when rounding up to a fraction of the form \(n ...

A few years ago I was trying to work out at what range a point defense laser on a spaceship could dest...

February 15th, 2010 Here's how you divide an unsigned int by 13 in C: unsigned divide(unsigned x) { return x / 13; } It gets better, I promise. Here's the corresponding x64 assembly that gcc produces: _divide: movl $1321528399, %edx movl %edi, %eax mull %edx shrl $2, %edx movl %edx, %eax ret Instead of division, the...

I mentioned in my year summary that I have a lot to say about ECS, and got several requests to write more about it, so I’ll do an attempt to write up my thoughts here.
