assembly - What is faster: JMP or string of NOPs? -

-

i'm implementing binary translation , have deal sequences of nops (0x90) length 16 opcodes. better performance place jmp (to end) @ start of such sequences?

the intel architecture software developer's guide, volume 2b (instructions n-z) contains following table (pg 4-12) nop:

table 4-9. recommended multi-byte sequence of nop instruction

 length    assembly                                   byte sequence ================================================================================= 2 bytes   66 nop                                     66 90h 3 bytes   nop dword ptr [eax]                        0f 1f 00h 4 bytes   nop dword ptr [eax + 00h]                  0f 1f 40 00h 5 bytes   nop dword ptr [eax + eax*1 + 00h]          0f 1f 44 00 00h 6 bytes   66 nop dword ptr [eax + eax*1 + 00h]       66 0f 1f 44 00 00h 7 bytes   nop dword ptr [eax + 00000000h]            0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00h 8 bytes   nop dword ptr [eax + eax*1 + 00000000h]    0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00h 9 bytes   66 nop dword ptr [eax + eax*1 + 00000000h] 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00h

this allows construct "padding nop" of sizes. 2 of those, can bridge 16 bytes, although second suggestion check optimization guides (for cpu you're targeting) whether jmp faster 2 such nops.

linux - Using a Cron Job to check if my mod_wsgi / apache server is running and restart -

my group , running server based upon django , uses mod_wsgi run apache server. not working on project after over, attempting set cronjob similar functionality check if apache server has shut down(system restart or power failure), , if has, restart server me. i've found documentation on how check if apache server down , restart server if is, our server uses https , our start command pretty verbose. can use functionality provided in these examples: https://askubuntu.com/questions/277389/cron-job-to-restart-apache https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-a-simple-bash-script-to-restart-server-programs or need more complicated process make happen? the command use start server is python manage.py runmodwsgi --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8001 --https-port 8000 --ssl-certificate (certificate location) --server-name (domain name) i'm pretty new linux , using both mod-wsgi apache appreciated. you better off using --setup-only option mod_wsgi-expres...

actionscript 3 - TweenLite does not work with object -

-
i got following problem: i have object called tempscore game. this object blitted canvas renderer via copypixels method. object not display object. it's score-object (self made). score-object extends object called basicblitarrayobject. basicblitarrayobject extends eventdispatcher (therefore no display object). i tried apply several different tweenlite-plugins tempscore-object (i.e. transformaroundcenter, colormatrixfilter, etc.). nothing happens. absolutely nothing. sometimes error messages (when plugin requires display object , object not display object). far good. according greensock (maker of tweenlite) engine can tween numeric property of object. when plugin transformaroundcenter requires display object tweening have modify plugin working non-display object (tempscore). can't because it's way hard me. my game rests upon code: http://www.8bitrocket.com/book/ch11_blastermines.zip try apply tweenlite object called tempmine inside game class blastermines. ...
