Hugo Villeneuve writes "What piece of code, in a non-assembler format, has been run the most often, ever, on this planet? By 'most often,' I mean the highest number of executions, regardless of CPU type. For the code in question, let's set a lower limit of 3 consecutive lines. For example, is it: A UNIX kernel context switch? A SHA2 algorithm for Bitcoin mining on an ASIC?A scientific calculation running on a supercomputer?A 'for-loop' inside on an obscure microcontroller that runs on all GE appliance since the '60s?" http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Ask+Slashdot%3A+What's+the+Most+Often-Run+Piece+of+Code+--+Ever%3F%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1eJeY2T) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fask.slashdot.org%2Fstory %2F14%2F01%2F18%2F1949241%2Fask-slashdot-whats-the-most-often-run-piece-of-code----ever%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebo ok) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://ask.slashdot.org/story/14/01/18/1949241/ask-slashdot-whats-the-most-often-run-piece-of-code----ever?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
