Writing powerful concurrent video-games with ACCLib in C++

I’ve been recently involve in an amazing project, the first multithreaded game engine with real performance on multicore processors.
We are all aware of the lack of video game performance on multicore, this engine claim linear performance scaling on manycore processors.
About x4 performance gain on a quadcore HT corei7 (see here) . Independent results with cinebench [...]


Diving into Batteries #1 : Comprehension

Hi,
I’m back here to introduce a very promising project : OCaml Batteries Included.
It aims at putting together all the things we may need as OCaml developers in a standard library. It has already put together some existing modules (Extlib, etc) and is now growing up with totally new modules.
The first thing you have to know [...]


OCaml completion, reloaded

Hi,
Few days ago, I posted about completion for OCaml programers within Emacs, the best editor ever (Ok, ok, “one of the best”), using YASnippets and tuareg-mode. Remember, it was here.
After some discussions with Laurent Le Brun, I post here with a new version of this work.
Indeed, Laurent liked this work and has worked on [...]


OCaml ‘completion’ within Emacs with YASnippet and tuareg-mode

Some days ago, I found YASnippet.
I then started using it and extending it.
As I currently develop mainly with OCaml (with tuareg-mode on Emacs), and that TABbing is much better (for me) than tuareg’s shortcut keys, I’ve created some snippets for tuareg-mode.
You can find them here : http://mestan.fr/ocaml/emacs/yasnippet-tuareg-mode.tar.gz
To install my snippets, assuming yasnippet is already [...]
