Indeed. If you're working with C++ classes, then you can provide class specific new and delete operators (for single objects and arrays). This means that in a Win32 environment you can hit the VMM directly (VirtualAlloc/VirtualFree) if it's appropriate, to do whatever you want.
Just carried out such an exercise on a server app (along with reshaping the internal data representation) and it was worth it - as reported by profiling the app with 'typical' and 'degenerate' loading.

Not sure this[^] is legal, but it led me to this[^] which seems interesting. The former link is also mentioned in the latter. So it might be.

Hi!
I'm just looking for your thoughts and ideas on what would be the most elegant way to implement a system of Si units in C++.
Cheers,

Units are only semantic definitions over the variables used in your applications.
In your design, you should mention that all values are in SI units, and offer appropriate conversions functions between base units ( meter, kilogram, ... ) and alternative unit type (inches, pound, onces, ... )
after that, it's only a matter of enforcing, really not hard, those rules.
or maybe I did not understand what you want.

This need not be the case. An interesting discussion can be found here[^] in the Boost documentation. Code can be found in the Boost vault here[^].

it still is semantics.
in their example of multiplication
F = m . a
quantity<float,force> f = m * a;
you have to distinct "dimensions" one mass (FG) and one acceleration( m/s ) and the result which is a force ( newton )
they all have disctinct semantics, and the result is still valid.
for such a system to work in the context of symbolic equations ( F=MA )one would need to validate all combinations of operands dimensions that can result in another third dimensions.
quantity<float,mass> bogus = m * a; , they say it is not valid, but it's only mathematic/physic semantic
in that example, you will have to know and code that a Force is only Mass x Acceleration.
I think they are confusion symbolic expressions with numerical computation.
I don't believe I express myself correctly on that matter.
anyway, this is one great discussion!!!

The point of the Boost stuff is that you declare a type called "force", for example. You also have a type called "mass" and "acceleration". Now if you try to write f=mv ("f" is if type "force", "m" is of type "mass" and "v" is of type "velocity") you get a compiler error. If you just use normal numeric types no such checks are possible.

Geee. I have to ask such a simple question but I AM SURE you folks are ALOT smarter than me! Especially at math! (But I work with with my hands like a Master!) Anyway, seemed so simple untill I tried to do it.. LOL..
Lets say you have a Joystick that inputs 0 to 1000 units. I want to limit the output to some variable (To keep it simple I'll use whole numbers) to some variable such as 40, 50, 60 etc. that gives a output that is from 0 to this variable in equal units?
I'm so STUPID at Math! Sorry my Left or Right brain not working for this simple problem!
|
|
|
|
|
divide the actual output by 1000, then multiply by your variable to get the new scaled output.
onew = (oold /1000) * var
|
|
|
|
|
SO SORRY I voted a 1 when I should have Voted a 5! I told you I was STUPID!
At first glance my brain said 1 was THE BEST..
Thank You.. DO not be to harsh on me.. I'm really a nice old man..
|
|
|
|

And if your joystick is connected to an embedded system with no hardware floating point support, you can keep everything in integer with good results by reordering the arithmetic:
onew = (oold * var) / 1000
You might have to cast the old variable to the next larger type to be sure you don't overflow and then cast back.
The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

i think solution is in following steps
1.get the maximum value of the out put.say you get that for input 1000.
it means you would want to get myMaxLimit when you get maxOP
2.so now you can use follwoing formula to limit your input
desiredOP = (currentOP/maxOP)*myMaxLimit

I would like to add, to the other comments psted here, that you can also do integer rounding. For example:
(1456+500)/1000=1
(1677+500)/1000=2
As you can see 1456 gets rounded to 1 and 1677 gets rounded to 2. It is just like rounding floating point numbers 1.456 and 1.677. In fact, all values from 500 to 1499 will be rounded to 1, and all values from 1500 to 2499 will be rounded to 2.

Hi i'm a maths b student and i need some help with a question on a maths assignment, The question is:
The question asks me to find an equation fo each of the 5 parabolas of a bridge given that:
1. the width of the bridge is 40m
2. The maximum height of the road section at the top is 2m
3. The height of the tallest supporting parabola is 13m
4. The height of the smaller supporting parabolas is 8m.
I know the equation I need to use and it is
y = ax^2 + bx^2 + c
Then the equation goes to
y = a(x-p)^2 + q
Can you please help me out because I don't know how i should start it.
PLEASE HELP, ASAP
Any help would be much appreciated.

Try expressing height of a given parabola H as a function of its width at the base W (H(W))

I am hoping somebody can tell me the best method (and possibly links on more info for that method) to use for calculating a line that runs smoothly through a few data points. The points are positions on a fan blade and I am looking at trying to roughly calculate a line that would be the profile of the blade if it was cut along the points. I thought that knowing the the location of the peaks and valleys, and possibly a few extra data points, would allow me to interpolate the other points I need to make a complete profile. I would then do this in several areas to get the surface of the blade by interpolating in the two directions through the points.
My original idea was to use splines, but I am not sure this is the right way to go. More so because I am not sure how you go about calculating the equations to go through the points and how to separate the line into the different regions for the different equations. Since it is a surface, NURBS may be another option. But, if I am having difficulty with splines, what are my chances of figuring out NURBS?
Thanks for any help.
