瘋狂週末

禮拜五晚上公司聚餐

吃到撐死

九點回到 Lab

Debug

De到失去意識

醒來

繼續 Debug

零點

有同學回到實驗,幫忙一起Debug

半夜兩點多,終於找到Bug

原來少轉置下三角矩陣

跑出結果

數據正確,但是程式沒有比較快

凌晨快四點,回到住的地方


睡到中午(這個禮拜第一次睡超過五小時)

下午兩點又到 Lab

跟隊友討論目前進度跟目標,兼喇賽

再實作一個增加 TLB Hit Rate的 Algorithm

結果反而變慢,因為 Xeon 有那麼多 Register 可以用


針對 Intel C Compiler 修 Code
研究 Vectorization、Alighment
討論

討論 Minimize Commnunication的Algorithm
討論 MPI broadcast 的API
改 Code ,減少 Transpose的 Overhead

半夜三點,終於De完Bug,跑出數據
結果,只快了五秒左右
(嗯...是時候該去寫平行運算了)


凌晨四點,到忠孝東路的麥當勞要看 MLB

人太多,跟朋友轉移陣地到台科


看到一比五的時候各自回去...




不管

先放個半天假再考慮要不要去 Lab coding....

旋轉木馬

“每個人都不斷的往前奔跑,好像在追逐什麼似的,可是到後來既不會追過別人,也不會被別人追上,最後就像旋轉木馬,只是每個人看起來還是在批老命似的。”
──村上春樹


暑假快放完了
這個暑假大概是這樣的模式

早上七點多起床→上班(K文件、Coding、搞 Server)→學校 Lab(K文件、Coding、Debug)→半夜一點(有時超過)→回住的地方→東摸摸西摸摸→凌晨兩三點→睡覺→一天的循環又開始

週末比較特別
看看小說(Dan Brown的Deception Point看了一半)
到學校實驗室Coding→半夜一點回住的地方

室友說他們最近好像都沒看到我回去
因為回去的時候大家都睡了
出門的時候大家也還在睡

XD


昨天公司的聚餐還不錯~

In?

今天

那個網路象棋的團隊問我有沒有興趣加入他們的股東(只是好聽而已)

不用出資金(我也沒有,我只能出code...)

這是一支創業中的學生團隊

我對於目前的東西感覺得還OK (只是Bug多到快瘋掉)

(對以後要做的東西比較有興趣, data mining, AI...etc)

跟這兩支程式相處了快一個暑假

也產生了感情

想要看著它們在我手中變得更好

(阿宅的戀 Code情節?)




In

就是責任會更重

現在已經犧牲很多睡眠時間在趕工(因為白天要上班)

花很多時間在寫 Code, Debug, K 文件

擺著專題沒有進度(快開學了....慘)

但還是一直 Delay...離 Deadline 越來越遠


而且...明年還不知道能不能留在台北唸書......

Period

TI那邊的intern結束了,兩個 Project 都進行地很順利,有 On Schedule
昨天做文件做到四點多才睡...=.=
今天早上又跑去上班,繼續寫文件
剛剛搞資料庫搞到一半對著螢幕打嗑睡...///

今天工程師中午請吃陶板屋,感覺比 NEO19 裡面的那些店好吃而且又沒那麼貴...

跟工程師聊天,越來越覺得他們的生活真的"很健康"
下班去打網球、藍球、劍道,體檢報告幾乎沒有紅字
工讀生的紅字超多...XD

本來計畫暑假要去游泳
結果只去過一次
游完還一直留鼻水瞬殺半包 130 抽的衛生紙

明天還要早起去新竹聽國網盃研習營
下禮拜一開始在內湖那邊當 Full-Time 的 Part-Timer...

大學生活過了一年沒有大學的感覺
還剩一年的大學生活也會這樣過...?

The Kite Runner (追風箏的孩子)


The Kite Runner



Author: Khaled Hosseini
★★★★
For you, a thousand times over.

This book consists of three part. First part is Amir’s childhood and how he grew up with Hassan and how they separated from each other’s life. Second part is Amir and his father’s life in America after Russians invade Afghanistan. Third part, the climax of this book, is that Amir flight back to Afghanistan and adventure to find Hassan’s son, Sohrab, under the Taliban.

1970s Afghanstan is an liberal country. Amir’s father, a successful businessman, who has his own thought, his own philosophy of life. Amir’s father told him once “No matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a varaition of theft. When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.”

Amir’s father, a respectful man, would rather abandon his status (a respectful rich man in Kubul) to work as an chief of a gas station than accept the relief payment from American government. He’s a courageous, a brave man who dares to risk his life in offending the Russian soldier to save an unknow woman who’s someone’s wife. He’s a severe and witty father, he always tried to grow Amir as an indepent man, he told Amir “What’s going to happen to you, you say? All those years, that’s what I was trying to teach you, how to never have to ask that question.”

Amir met Soraya Taheri, his Swap Meet Princess. After the very first meeting, every night to Amir is yelda, the first night of the month of Jadi, the first night of winter, the starless night tormented lovers kept vigil, enduring the endless dark, waiting for the sun to rise and bring with it their loved one. Soraya is also a witty, courageous and kind Afghanistan woman. Soraya has the courage to tell her past (her past seems unforgivable to common Afghanistan. Soraya has the courage to challenge the racism of her country.

Rahim Khan, Amir’s Baba’s best business friend, a kind man and the man understands Amir most. In the filled with discriminations Afhanistan, Rhim was once falled in love with a Hazara woman, but result in a bad result, and he’s never gotten married. Racial problem is, the Afhanistan can not tolerate to call someone sister after she made them tea for so many years. The only identity they can accept a Hazara is servant. The worthiest to be mentioned is that, Amir, his father, Raim Khan, Soraya can admit Hazara as their friend, their family.

Hassan, a loyal servant to Amir, the best friend to Amir, a Hazara. Hassan and Amir used to always play together, share everything with each other, and Hassan was the most faithful reader to Amir – before the tragic afternoon of the tournament, which Amir earned his father’s approval, and which was to shatter their lives.

Hassan always stands up to agains the children who humiliate Amir, Hassan is always willing to do every thing for Amir, Hassan has told the very sentence to Amir, “For you, a thousand times over”.

But the very afternoon, Hassan need the help from Amir most, Amir shrank back. The cowardice made a tragedy of them. The shrinking resulted in a series of gilties to Admir.

25 years after the very afternoon, Amir return to Afghanistan for redemption.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time


The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time


Author: Mark Haddon, HADDON

★★★

This is NOT a detective book, although it begins with a series detetive actions. This book revealed the emotional state of an autistic boy, Christopher. From this book, we can know how the boy started his detective advanture, and how he suffered the disgust and fear of talking to neighborhoods, cops, strangers.

This story begins with a dog being killed, and Christopher started the advanture of finding out the murderer. From a series of interviewing with neighborhoods, he's informed about something about his mother he didn't know. But he didn't believe that, the most believable things hime is come from his father and his teacher.


One day he found out that his mother didn't die, the way his father told him about his mother's disappearance couple years ago. When he found out the cruel thing his father did, he decided to escape, to find his lovely mother and live with her. He went to the train station, and scared by the pessangers and the sound made by the trains when the trains enter the station. On the way he went to London, he always picture a map in his brain with logic, induction, and deduction. He didn't believe his intuition, or he didn't have that.

This is an interesting story, and I have to admit that the boy is kind of similar to me.
