Table of Contents
And now it's Fall!
1. MIT OCW
1.1. 18.01 - Single Variable Calculus
1.1.1. Completed sessions 23-28
2. Marble Computation
Collected materials (thin copper plate, copper PCB blanks) for prototyping.
2.1. Next Steps
2.1.1. Continue Reversible Computation Study
2.1.2. Prototype Marble inverter
Using dual rail differential logic (left/,right/1), an inverter merely switches sides. I think little "kickers" on the side should be sufficient for a purely mechanical approach.
4. us-index-map
4.1. finished 125k index map
5. Sun Ultra 10
Trying to see what state it is in. Fires up but no video. Need DB25M to debug over serial port.
5.1. Next steps
5.1.1. Serial debug
6. Apple iMac G4
Building userland may be a PITA due to lack of RAM. Build would often segfault.
6.1. Next steps
Not sure.
7. Davies Brothel
Next hearing: 30 September; Department 37
8. Linux Audio
8.1. pvanal to spectrogram
Enough of libriffr and libpvocf work to start pvoctool https://github.com/daniel-kelley/pvoctool. Have HDF5 output and text delimited output for octave. Can import PVOC data to octave spectrogram for display.
8.1.1. Next steps
Loop analysis
8.2. CSound programming.
The FORTRAN of computer music. Getting up to speed.
8.3. Faust programming
8.3.1. Next Steps
- GAC Patch save/restore
- LV2 autopatcher
Exploratory tool to generate (was pd, ecasound, now carla) patch for arbitrary LV2 plugin: hook up audio inputs to signal source, audio outputs to speakers, control inputs to control surface, etc.
- OSC control surface
Some sort of GUI tool (knob/slider) to OSC messages. This may be as simple as a Faust UI program.
- Faust/csound
See if a faust generated unit works.
9. EPICS
9.1. Next steps
9.1.1. u3scpi network port testing
9.1.2. initial EPICS interface
9.1.3. u3scpi analog/digital port reconfiguration.
10. Brini Tracker II
Suspended for now.
10.1. Next steps
10.1.1. Validate remaining standard GPS messages
10.1.2. Investigate GPS chipset data logging
10.1.3. Investigate LoRA radio interface
11. wktcolor
11.1. Next steps
11.1.1. Explore how to get a minimal coloring
Need a specific planar graph four coloring.
12. wktplot
12.1. Next steps
Understand why -r doesn't solve the wktvor/wktdel "sliver at edge" problem. Explore biological cell Voronoi organization
13. AMDGPU
13.1. Next step
13.1.1. Reverse engineer HSAKMT programming.
14. Ninja v Make
14.1. Next Step
14.1.1. clean simple measurements
15. GMP Forth
15.1. Need to think about adding floating point support
15.2. Port to non-Linux OS
16. Swocer
16.1. Most crashing addressed
Nullified 'handle' API free functions helped a lot. Still see some errors in operations.
16.2. Added outline for 'bottle' test
Added all functions believed to be needed for 'bottle' demo test. Test doesn't pass so is disabled.
16.3. Next steps
Swocer future. Check out what's needed for gears.
