The perils of alignment - or how to fully utilise the cache 18/02/2015:11:23:50

A really interesting article with real world data on the potential cache misuses issues of large, 2^ aligned structures. This is another reason to be ware of keeping data in large structures rather than separate arrays. It doesn't happen much by accident, but it's the kind of thing that gets done on purpose because there were reasons in GPUs to keep things aligned, and the cargo cult goes deep with these kinds of knowledge.
