Subject: [PATCH v2] lib: Improve EWMA efficiency by using bitshifts
Date: Thu, 02 Dec 2010 19:50:37 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101202105037.5654.62835.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
Using bitshifts instead of division and multiplication should improve
performance. That requires weight and factor to be powers of two, but i think
this is something we can live with.
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the improved formula!
