In modern digital computers, integer addition is typically the fastest arithmetic instruction, yet it has the largest impact on performance, since it underlies all the floating-point operations as well as such basic tasks as address generation during memory access and fetching instructions during branching.
Additional CPU-based optimizations can be applied, such as vectorizing the MC code, making use of Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE), and using faster arithmetic libraries.
The more complex missions require fast mental arithmetic and can include multiplication and division functions.
In a memoir, Dr. Pais described his childhood as carefree and wrote, "At school I became a smart, rather arrogant kid, always learning fast, especially arithmetic".
These children, they wrote, seem "to be aware of information in some raw or interim state prior to it being formed into the 'ultimate picture".' Most astonishing, they went on, "the mental machinery for performing lightning fast integer arithmetic calculations could be within us all".
In what is essentially a "cold case" novel, more indications of date would have been helpful - readers new to the series who are not aware that these books are set in the 1980s will need to do some fast mental arithmetic before things start to make sense.
To keep the simulation simple and fast, the arithmetic operations are processed using floating-point values.
The method is based on sphere voxelization, and uses fast integer arithmetic algorithms from the field of computer graphics.
Males were faster in arithmetic calculation than females, irrespective of age.
Therefore, researchers depend upon fast, flexible 'genome arithmetic' tools for interrogating and comparing diverse datasets of genome features.
