Hi davido,

I did indeed try that approach, and while I did not interleave the sequence, as I mentioned MCE chunks it up. (I don't think interleaving would really much affect the cache hits, as the caching tested stores the sequence for each number found, and the algorithm produces sequences that themselves include numbers greater than n, so such a boundary would be difficult to enforce.)

In testing, with each worker building and using its own cache for the chuck processed, the program ran almost three times slower than just letting the workers hammer the CPU. Again, I believe it's because in this case the overhead of caching outweighs its benefits.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
