Implementations of the homework for the various parts of the performance aware course

Reference impls / homeworks are in the Computer Enhance Github

Written in Odin

Each application can be built using odin build <dir> e.g. odin build ./gen_haversines

These should all work on any OS other than query_perf_counters which specifically uses the windows intrinsics for the purposes of stepping through asm in a debugger (one of the homeworks). But note since the course uses RDTSC I do so here

Each repetition testing binary can be built in a similar way with e.g. odin build repetition_testing/read_ports

1. gen_haversines - generates test code
2. compute_haversines - the main code for pt3 that we are profiling and trying to improve
3. sim8086 - binary decoding of 8086 machine code
4. verify_binary - small program to verify that a particular binary is identical to another one
5. query_perf_counters - literally just calls windows.QueryPerformanceCounter and windows.QueryPerformanceFrequency for the purposes of stepping through the asm with a debugger
6. repetition_testing/* - different repetition tests all using the same harness
7. abi_tester - just does a couple C function calls to verify the ABI / debugging purposes

Since I was starting later and the ASM course was done already, I only went up to decoding Add/Sub, etc. I feel comfortable enough with asm that I'll come back to it later if I feel like it
