Bye Bye Google Blogger

I’m on WordPress now and almost all links are saved :)

Import from Blogger was perfect!

Permalinks with custom structure /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html correctly replicate Blogger’s URLs

I installed plugin “Smart 404″ to handle broken URLs to labels – it’s working fine

But now archive URLs are different and RSS feed URLs are different – it is minor problem

Black big-endian and little-endian

This is my home working place where I can port software from little-endian machine to big-endian:Red table bought in IKEA. Right-bottom: Systemax server with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6 ГГц (Slackware 12.2). Right-top: PowerMac G4 Cube (colored to black) with Debian 5.0 and preloaded libfreevec. Left-bottom: subwoofer Logitech, power adapter for Cube and Gigabit switch. Left-top: UPS CyberPower 1500AVR. In the center under the table: KVM IOGEAR (switching USB keyboard+mouse and VGA between both machines). In the center on the … Continue Reading

Vectorized memcpy on G4 Cube

Again I tested new hardware using my memcpy benchmark – now for my 1st desktop on Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6 GHz and my 2nd desktop on PowerPC G4 450 MHz (black G4 Cube). Here you can see not-aligned (nal) and aligned (al) results and also “vectorized” results (G4-450v-nal and G4-450v-al) where memcpy was AltiVec optimized version from libfreevec v1.0.4.P.S. If you want optimized AltiVec versions of such functions as bmove512, memccpy, memchr, memcmp, … Continue Reading

Emulator of simple ternary computer

If you are interested in ternary computing check open source Java emulator of my ternary computer 3niti alpha:http://ternary.info/ternary/java.php?applet=3

Your Ternary Computer

I created new web-site about open source ternary computer – www.3niti.org.I hope it will have emulator soon. Then I will try to build REAL ternary computer…

Vectorized memcpy

Some benchmarks of memcpy function on my Compaq Presario S6000NX Celeron 2.7 GHz (Linux), PowerMac G4 400 MHz (Linux) and PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz (Linux and Mac OS X):As we can see vectorized memcpy on PowerPC G4 1.67 GHz almost twice as fast as Celeron 2.7 GHz (which is sometimes similar to speed of vectorized memcpy on PowerPC G4 400 MHz). Also we see that Mac OS X has vectorized memcpy by default. See source code of … Continue Reading

Full results for benchsuite on G4 1.67 GHz

Full run of SVN version of freevec’s benchsuite takes more than two days on my PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz. This is archive with sqlite DB and SQL: files/g4_1670_080428.zip

Some vectorization for my PowerMac G4

Another test of libfreevec-1.0.3 under the same Debian 4.0 “etch” as at previous time, but now on my PowerMac G4 400 MHz:Archive with original data files: files/g4_400_tests_080426.zip

Some vectorization for my PowerBook G4

Some benchmarks of libfreevec-1.0.3 on my PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz under Debian 4.0 “etch”. Tests were prepared by benchsuite-1.0.2 with little help from OpenOffice.org Calc. Thanks to Konstantinos Margaritis for excellent work!Archive with original … Continue Reading

Firefox from deep space!

Star V838 Monocerotis that was exploded a few years ago now looks like Firefox logo :)
