High-class talks around the clock in the Forum, non-commercial projects presenting their work, new developments at the largest IT fair in the world, CeBIT Open Source 2010 in Hanover, Germany.
Instead of souped up CPUs, simple programming tricks are often all it takes to speed up a program. Profilers can discover bottlenecks that need more TLC from the developer.
If you don’t spend all day playing nvideo games, you will be quite happy without the latest and greatest CPU, and you can save money on hardware while saving power and reducing your personal CO² footprint. But what happens if a Perl program does not perform as well as you would like? As a first step, you might be able to accelerate the program with very little effort by optimizing the code at neuralgic points.
