I've
always been suspicious of languages that do their own memory management as in
"automatic garbage collection". It seems possible to me that stability
issues with Java programs that run for a long time might come down to
this. I've never been convinced that garbage collection algorithms are
really deterministic and the longer such a program runs, the more likely it
seems to me that problems will show up.

I agree the compiler is not the limiting factor but the design. Now that
the autorouter is free/open source I am hoping there will be a project page
someplace so that researchers and developers can add in some design changes and
improvements. I
have noticed the program goes unstable if it runs for extended periods of
time. There probably some bugs deeply buried in the code which eventually
corrupts the boards and causes lockups. It is also am almost purely single
threaded design which I think could be improved on multi-core
CPUs. Great
news! Thanks and have a nice day! From:

yoda Hi Andrew!!! It is still Java but with the JIT compilers available in Java
these days it is almost native. The big gain would be to make it
multi-threaded. From my looking at it so far it appears to be single
threaded. I would think that it would be natural for something like this
to be multi-threaded. Dave HI
Michael! Thanks! This is fantastic news on FreeRouting.net finally
going open source. I was afraid it would disappear forever and we’d all be
screwed. Now it is part of the permanent internet landscape! The
tool is now finally a standalone Windows/Linux application and that is even
better. Is it still a Java application? Can it be compiled to a
Windows/Linux native binary? I would think just native compilation would
improve performance some if only a small amount. Thanks
for letting us know about this and putting it on the wiki. Have
a great day! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "N8VEM-S100" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to n8vem-s100+...@googlegroups.com. For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. |
