Expanding Our Horizons - Efficiently
Edge Perspectives
MARCH 26, 2019
In our Big Shift world, we confront the imperative of institutional innovation – shifting from institutional models built on scalable efficiency to institutional models built on scalable learning. I’ve written and spoken about this a lot over the years and one of the most common pushbacks I get is – “so, are you against efficiency?” Let me lead with the answer – no, I’m not against efficiency. First, we need to broaden our horizons to look beyond efficiency.

Faster remainders when the divisor is a constant: beating compilers and libdivide
Daniel Lemire
FEBRUARY 8, 2019
In some instances, libdivide can even be more efficient than compilers because it uses an approach introduced by Robison (2005) where we not only use multiplications and shifts, but also an addition to avoid arithmetic overflows. There are far more efficient ways to do that, but here is the programming 101 approach in C: for ( uint32_t i = 0 ; i < N ; i + + ) {. Not all instructions on modern processors cost the same.
