    Efficiency gain/loss of loading structs partially? Computer Science

    Efficiency gain/loss of loading structs partially? Computer Science


    Efficiency gain/loss of loading structs partially?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2019 04:19 PM PDT

    Would it be more efficient, or possibly less, for the compiler to reduce the byte window for struct loading, to merely those bytes required to satisfy the fields actually used by a function?

    For example, let's say a compiler is aware that mutating function G only accesses fields X, Y, and Z of a struct { X, Y, Z, W }. And G is passed an array of these structs (by reference). Then would it help or hurt performance to skip copying the bytes from field W, which is unused by G?

    How does the performance gain/loss equation change if G does not mutate the structs, but merely reads the structs?

    What are the different computer science textbooks across uni's.. I know Ivy League schools use different ones..

    Wandering if anyone knows what computer science textbooks ivy league students get ( undergrad ). I know the Ivy League has different curriculum than 95% of colleges. I was wanting to get an ivy league "approved" CS textbook, to see if its better than the one my uni offered.

    Is it actually possible to go from a non CS undergrad background to Graduate school for CS?

    Yes, I technically know it's possible, but what is it like for those who have done it? I want to hear your stories. I finished my bachelors in CS, yet I still feel like I'm at a disadvantage. I want to know what efforts you and others put it to achieve what you needed. What was the hardest part? What was the easiest part?
