AFAIK you want short instructions for VLIW because you want to pack multiple of them into a single word.

From that document what is interesting is that they explicitly avoided the approach that Qualcomm are suggesting: p. 51 > each RVC instruction must expand into a single RISC-V instruction. The reasons for this constraint are twofold. Mo

I mean it's irritating, but we all have CI/CD pipelines now don't we? I'd see it being a project for a single team for a month to get it changed, tuned, and verified. We regularly build both x86 images and ARM images for

From my understanding they continue to patch even when the developer has abandoned the title. iD doesn’t care if Doom won’t run on a new graphics card, but the consumer will so it’s in GPU maker’s problem, not the developers (they already h

If that then create a separate locked down Git repo just for this. Protecting your state file was a big deal when I first reading about Terraform. It was really drilled in.

Just a thought, but would it be possible to hot patch at the time of loading the binary? I realise it might require updates to the binary format, but it might be very well justified.

What is the real cost to just have those few methods be compiled in and then a branch? You don't need to ship a separate binary for each target, you can have dead code in it. I mean fat binaries take this idea to the extreme to support
