Download : Author : Bruce Eckel Description : Great and recommended Java book, chapters and tutorials are posted, public review, correction. Continuous Delivery Ebook. Lock-Free Multi-Producer Multi-Consumer Queue on Ring Buffer.

Nowadays, high-performance server software (for example, the HTTP accelerator) in most cases runs on multicore machines. Modern hardware could provide 32, 64 or more CPU cores. In such highly concurrent environments, lock contention sometimes hurts overall system performance more than data copying, context switches and so on. Thus, moving the hottest data structures from a locked to a lock-free design can improve software performance in multicore environments significantly. One of the hottest data structures in traditional server software is the work queue, which could have hundreds of thousands of push and pop operations per second from tens of producers and/or consumers. The work queue is a FIFO data structure that has only two operations: push() and pop(). One of the possible work queue implementations is a ring buffer for storing pointers to the queued elements.

Naive Synchronized Queue First, let's define the interface for our queue (I use C++11 in this article): Fuck PDF - Free PDF Ebooks and Magazines Download. Final Fantasy XII/Damage Formula — StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki. Most weapons damage formulae are stat dependent.

Some, such as swords, depend on the characters strength stat, while others depend on the magick stat of the weapon. Unarmed[edit] DMG = [11 x RANDOM(1~1.125) - DEF] x STR x (Lv+STR)/256] Unarmed with "Brawler" Licence[edit] This formula is for if you have the Brawler licence, or if you have an Amber Armlet equipped (it increases unarmed damage). 15 Free APIs You Didn’t Hear About (But Will Make Use Of) Websites make use of and present lots of 3rd party data like tweets, maps, currency conversion… where all tied to APIs. And, we usually use the most-popular, known APIs in our sites. However, there are some hidden treasures as well that can feed any site/app with valuable data. Check these 15 APIs and I’m pretty sure you’ll find a use for at least few of them: Random User Generator A very useful API that allows us to create realistic-yet-fake users automatically.

Announcement: Free eBook on Web API Design. We wrote an API design book!

Announcement: Free eBook on Web API Design

In 2009, a couple of my fellow Apigeeks ( @earth2marsh & @gbrail ) and I were frustrated with how many bad, inconsistent Web APIs we encountered in the world. So, we started cataloging the bad (and good) things we saw people doing to other people through API design. After three years of discussions, presentations and implementations with technologists all over the world ( online & in real life), we are happy to announce the beta version of a new eBook. Although I did my best to chase down errors, there are likely mistakes and bugs in the book. Plus, it's shocking how poorly code and eBook publishing get along. Big thanks to all the freelancers, corporate geeks, open source contributors, bloggers and doers who helped craft our thinking about API design.

Free Old School Fonts

Today it’s gonna be all about old school and old typography style. My colleagues picked the best 20 old school fonts that were published on Fonts2u during the last month or two. Trying to keep everything fresh .). CodeProject: Voice Command. Free source code and programming help. Introduction The Voice Command Demo demonstrates a simple speech recognition by showing you the commands it recognizes.

CodeProject: Voice Command. Free source code and programming help

A speech recognition engine should be installed to run the program. You can download the Microsoft Speech Recognition Engine from here. The Voice Command interface is the high-level interface for speech recognition. It is designed to provide command and control speech recognition for applications. The Voice Command design mimics a Windows menu in behavior, providing a "menu" of commands that users can speak. Voice commands allow the user to control an application by speaking commands through an audio input device rather than by using the mouse or keyboard, giving the user hands-free control of the application. Why Use Command and Control?
