LeBlanc’s law: "Later equals never".
Summary In this post, I will introduce how to use the tool nvprof to profile your CUDA applications. Details It is a good practice to dive deeper to see how much time each kernel or each CUDA runtime API takes when you want to optimize your applications. Intuition It is not good to use any…
Summary In this post, I will introduce rules related to constructors and destructors of classes which has virtual functions. Conclusions Golden Rule 1: Define a virtual destructor immediately Golden Rule 2: Do not invoke virtual functions from constructors or destructors Details In C++, Virtual functions allow for the choice of member function calls to be…
Summary In this post, I will introduce function override and function overload in C++, which are introduced by polymorphism in object oriented programming. Conclusion Overload Function overloadding achieves at compile time. It provides multiple definitions of the function by changing signature. Changing signatures includes changing number of parameters, change datatype of parameters. Note that return…
Summary In this post. I will introduce class templates in C++. Especially, how do we declare a template which generates classes and how do we write definitions in separate source files. I will also dive deeper to present how class templates are compiled. Conclusion As usual, I present the conclusions first.Say the customer will use…
