From af5568843594fb71055debe36e521fa8072fcecc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruno Randolf Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 19:50:37 +0900 Subject: lib: Improve EWMA efficiency by using bitshifts 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!
