Re: 7 Card Hand Evaluators
Well right now I use two lookup tables; and some on-the-fly processing. With 2 gigs of memory, you could just have one big lookup table, and reduce processing time to just retreiving a value from an array. Is that 1000x faster, maybe not, but it would be exponentially faster. Can modern CPU's retreive more than one integer value per CPU cycle? How about from a multi-dimensional Array? Well at any rate, that is the limiting factor, if memory wasn't an issue.
