Re: My Multithreaded Merge Sort Algorithm takes 10+ minutes

Since the performance is fine up until 1 million strings, I'm guessing you're running into memory problems, and the computer is starting to use (uber-slow) swap space. That, or the function stack is getting a little too deep and is slowing things down. I think it's a space complexity issue though. ...

My Multithreaded Merge Sort Algorithm takes 10+ minutes to s

So this is for my AP Computer Science class in high school (equivalent to 2nd semester of Comp Sci 101) that focuses on data structures. So we have this little contest on who can make the fastest sorting algorithm. This current algorithm only takes 450 ms for sorting 20,000 strings. I do not know ho...

Re: Do you guys still use the old deprecated way of using Op

I do not want to start a new thread about it, but anyone upgraded to the new C++ standard? (C++11/C++0X). It is supposedly implemented in most mainstream compilers by now, but GCC requires the -std=c++0x tag

I don't get it, what's so bad about code blocks? Sure, it uses mingw, but so what?

Re: Windows 8 Just put Apple out of business

So, is the new Windows 8 API Microsoft's take on software communism? So they just made a whole bunch of wrappers for Javascript, C# and VB.

Re: Windows 7 Being Annoying

People still use Code::Blocks? :shock: Even the Express Edition of VS is 1,000 times better than that IDE. I would know, I used Code::Blocks for 3 years. I thought the express version lacked the x64 support. I am very satisfied with the ol' GCC. It's great. :lol: It does suck that gedit does not in...

Windows 7 Being Annoying

So, every time I build and run anything, that stupid User Account notification pops up asking if I wanted to allow it to run. Is there a way to selectively turn it off? I don't want to turn it off completely, because I think it is useful at times.
