PCIe any% speedrun, day 5:
Incoming configuration write TLPs are acknowledged at the data link layer, then converted into APB write transactions which are thrown away by a stubbed-out completer that acknowledges them.
Next step will be to send PCIe completion TLPs so the transaction will complete end to end.

Completions of pairwise comparison data that minimize the triad measure of inconsistency
We consider incomplete pairwise comparison matrices and determine exactly when they have a consistent completion and, if not, when they have a nearly consistent completion. We use the maximum 3-cycle product as a measure of inconsistency and show that, when the graph of the specified entries is chordal, a completion in which this measure is not increased is always possible. Methodology to produce such completions is developed. Such methodology may also be used to reduce inconsistency with few c…

AwareCompiler: Agentic Context-Aware Compiler Optimization via a Synergistic Knowledge-Data Driven Framework
Compiler optimization is crucial for enhancing program performance by transforming the sequence of optimization passes while maintaining correctness. Despite the promising potential of large language models (LLMs)-based agent for software optimization, automating compiler optimization remains challenging due to: (1) semantic misalignment between abstract program representations and concrete optimization passes, (2) inefficient interaction mechanisms between agents and compiler environments, and…

And now for something completely different: NetBSD on the last G4 Mac mini (and making the kernel power failure proof)
(First, as a public service message, if you're running Linux on a G5 you may wish to update the kernel .) I'm a big fan of NetBSD . I've ru...
