Knowledge Base

Just comparizon of the two similar CPUs.

A very basic article about CPU Information.

A very basic article about different tools used to obtain hardware (CPU/Memory, etc) Info.

From the administrator command prompt type manage-bde -protectors -get <drive letter>: where is the drive letter for the BitLocker protected drive that you want to recover. Note: The ID under a numerical password (this is the key identifier for the drive).

Recent releases of FAR (6644 and newer) crashed with ConEmu in attempt to start editor (F4). Below is detailed info and how to fix.

The lock screen isn’t just a pretty picture — it’s also an extra step before you can enter your password or PIN.

Starting with Windows 8, you have to press any key or click the mouse to move past the lock screen. In some cases, this can even slow things down — for example, after waking the system from sleep.

Basically the base (not turbo boosted) CPU Frequency is amount of TSC Increments per one second.

This code will read latency and throughput of the CPU instructions (Draft)

This code will read memory at different sizes and measure bandwidth

The easiest way to print integer and floating-point values from Assembly Code to the Console

I ran my own experiments to better understand how Hyper-Threading works internally on Windows, using hand-written assembly benchmarks — from single-register multiplications to SHA-256 hashing.

llvm-mca is a performance analysis tool to statically measure the performance of machine code in a specific CPU.

I just encountered an interesting exception in LabVIEW when the Median Filter was called for a float image containing a NaN value. It works as expected for small images, but I found one that caused a crash.

If you have a dual-socket CPU, each socket may have dedicated RAM assigned to it. This can lead to performance penalties when a processor accesses memory from the “wrong” memory bank. Below is a simple benchmark and an explanation of how to utilize the full bandwidth properly.

Installation of gcc and clang is not very complicated, but there are some issues in corporate environment which I would like to note.
