No tuning

Post by Henk »

How many times did I tune a bad implementation. So tuning for Skipper is just a waste of time.

Step one: make certain code works.

Step two: make certain step one was done correctly.

Actually this was my best post in years. If you don't do tuning it will save you months of computing time. For there is almost always a better implementation and each implementation uses other parameters.

No wonder some developers start copying and cloning.
