Ambiguous eq 4 in manual ver. 1.3b4


Posted on Dec 28, 2014 by Happy Giraffe

Round brackets in the manual equation 4 (page 9) seems to be misplaced or unnecessary.

The text immediately after this equation specifies that the term in round brackets (+192/n_p) is relevant only for parallel mode.

I do agree that such representation is somewhat ambiguous, but I do not know a better simple way to show memory requirements in a single equation for several execution modes.

Nobody reads manual in details for a quick estimate, sorry. May be you can try to use \overbrace or \underbrace LaTeX commands equivalent with "only if parallel" caption. This will give a quick visual hint inside the formula scope.

Konstantin, thanks for the idea. I have updated the equation accordingly - will be available in the next ADDA version.
