I suppose the concern goes something like this. Under certain metabolic conditions, each fat cell (in a region) decides it needs to be size X, and grows / shrinks accordingly. And under other conditions, each fat cell (in the same reg

Compressed instructions are generated by default with recent versions of GCC for RV64GC and RV32GC.

I compiled that code with slight modifications (needed an actual func1 function) with a cross-compiler I had laying around into actual executables: cross g++ version 8.4.0 for aarch64: 13712 bytes native g++ version 11.3.0-3 for RV64GC: 139

That is not correct. Compressed instructions are available for 32-bit (RV32) and 64-bit (RV64). The compressed instructions differ slightly between the two though. See my other comment in this thread.

Yes and no. The GP is counting instructions , which is approximately the same between ARM64 and RV64. Others are talking about code density where RISC-V currently has a significant advantage due to compressed instructions. --------------

There are some open issues and features like inline assembly that aren't supported, but a moderately complete backend exists now: https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift The compiler frontend is already

Also, something not explicitly stated in this thread is that most of the most important science happens in the first year the rover / lander is there on Mars. You really want that first year to be successful, and anything beyond that

We had tried RAID-1 on btrfs, and the experience was not that great either. Our current systems, when they use btrfs, are on top of md (mdadm) RAID-1 arrays.

Not /u/acidburnNSA, but what was meant is that no laser is 100% efficient. Not only do they not convert 100% of their electrical input into laser energy, but they also require other support systems, notably cooling. So we need to

Rather than play something like this, there are many chess variants that people could try instead. Like Hexagonal Chess [1]. No one has written engines for them or otherwise invested huge amounts of time and effort in research. So you can b

And all that engineering resulted in a floppy drive that was slower and more expensive than comparable units for other home computers. I'm not sure if there is a lesson there...

Perhaps I should have been clearer. Having an automated process to check out the most recent revision of the codebase and compiling it is just as easy as with other development. Doing anything with that in an automated process is usually

For anything to do with embedded development, this is not reasonable.

I am highly skeptical. The amount of energy you can extract from the wind is a function of swept area for a conventional wind turbine. I don't see how this is going to be much different, even if it is incredibly efficient. "swept
