I guess that a simple way to cut the discussion short would be to have a first implementation, and run some benchmarks to measure the benefits. I can certainly see the benefit of cacheline-aligned data structures in multithreaded code (to avoid false sharing/cacheline bouncing): I'm really curious to see how much this would benefit in a single-threaded workload. ---------- nosy: +neologix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18835> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
