CAPSim: A Fast CPU Performance Simulator Using Attention-based Predictor
CPU simulators are vital for computer architecture research, primarily for estimating performance under different programs. This poses challenges for fast and accurate simulation of modern CPUs, especially in multi-core systems. Modern CPU peformance simulators such as GEM5 adopt the cycle-accurate and event-driven approach, which is timeconsuming to simulate the extensive microarchitectural behavior of a real benchmark running on out-of-order CPUs. Recently, machine leaning based approach has …

Least zero of pairs of additive cubic equations
An effective upper bound is established for the least non-trivial integer solution to the system of cubic forms \[ \begin{cases} F = c_{1}x_1^3 + c_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + c_{n}x_n^3 = 0, \\ G = d_{1}x_1^3 + d_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + d_{n}x_n^3 = 0, \end{cases} \] under the "$M$-good" condition for $n \ge 16$, where $c_{1}, \dots, c_{n}$ and $d_{1}, \dots, d_{n}$ are integers. Additionally, a range is derived for the probability that randomly selected simultaneous equations satisfy the $M$-good conditi…

OK I'm being a bit silly here, yes. Over the years I have written many custom install scripts for myself and others in the Vivaldi team. We have a few special requirements, e.g. we often run a bunch of copies of Vivaldi side by side. In addition to the public stable and snapshot releases we do multiple builds a day (often per commit) straight from our main branch, and developers make branch builds where they work on a feature or bug, that QA and others test. Even for the public builds, a…

Four takeaways from Wednesday, from offensive "ownership" to happy returns as they prepare for Cowboys https://www.panthers.com/news/four-takeaways-from-wednesday-from-offensive-owner…

Ok, yeah, I'm not done processing my anger over liberals doing shit like this. So this historian sees a rise in right wing violence, sees the US government carrying out ethnic cleansing, sees a rise in white supremacist terrorism, and then says, "oh yeah... this reminds me of a time right around the 1920s. Hum... yeah, ANARCHISTS fighting the government! Yeah, that's the same thing."
FFS, IT'S THE RED SUMMER! If you want a parallel between today and some horrible time in US history, TALK ABOUT THE RED SUMMER. The point of the language of dehumanization that the right uses, the point of all the anti-black and anti-emigrant rhetoric, is that it leads to genocide. Trump already carried out an act of genocide (#USPol

At #burningman this year, I brought a small 1200 lumen projector that I could mount on my bike. Would it be feasible to do some quick on the fly projection mapping? It seems that yes, for somewhat small (about 6m x 3m max for reasonable brightness) and not very bright pieces, it works.
I may experiment with this more in the future.

I got Epsom Salt. That’s just uncanny. https://beige.party/@RickiTarr/115124087333264067

Instead of doing something useful, I wondered whether there’s a way of running my original version of #Cubase Score from my #AtariST hard disk image…
Well, yes and no. There are “dongle emulators” for Cubase Score 2.0.7 and Cubase 3.1, but my version is different (it's not 2.0.6 either). …
