Minor edits

edit

Minor edits should only be used for edits that could not possibly be disputed - things like spelling and grammer corrections, and wikifing. Do not use minor edits for any change in content. Hipocrite - «Talk» 20:00, 1 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I enjoyed reading your addition to Talk: TM. It won't stop the edit wars, and they will now probably take aim at you as well, but at least you've written something that is actually from the TM point of view. Thank you!

A Note on Encyclopedic Language

edit

Hi,

I am following events at Bourke engine with some interest. You appear to be doing a good job with the citations, but might I suggest you concentrate on making sure your language is encyclopedic as well? Your knowledge on the subject seems impressive, and I want to make sure your contributions to Wikipedia stand the best chance of not being reversed. If you have questions or comments, please leave a note on my talk page. Cheers, Ebikeguy (talk) 17:38, 16 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

thanks - it's not so much "my" knowledge as it is that i got the book, have been reading it every day, and have been discussing it with a friend for about an hour a day because we're evaluating whether to put this engine - or a variant - into mass-production. so i'm learning as i go: it's Bourke's knowledge that i'm absorbing. regarding the style: i'm quite a prolific writer on technical subjects, and once wrote an entire technical book without ever using personal pronouns (at all - including the introduction), but i am a) not entirely used to wikipedia although i've read lots and occasionally contributed small-scale for over a decade b) am taking over what is effectively abandoned page that had several prior editors, including a few bun-fights, by people who clearly didn't understand the subject matter. but one who believed that he did, if it's the same person i think it is, there is empirical evidence to suggest that he's slightly mentally unstable :) anyway i'm correcting bits as i go. i'm aware i do slightly... archaic sentence construction, but i'm also keenly aware that i'm somewhat hampered by having to focus on rebuttal of the "Engineering Critique" which is... achh it's bad. if the engineering critique section is anything to go by, it's no wonder nobody's taken up the Bourke Engine... Otto has a _lot_ to answer for. *sigh*. Lkcl (talk) 22:43, 16 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Bit manipulation instruction set moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Bit manipulation instruction set, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Scoreboarding CDC 6600

edit

Hello Lkcl ;

I've see your post on the Scoreboarding/OOO articles, and also your articles on LibreSOC and some discussions on comp.arch. I'm contacting you because i want to vastly improve the article on Scoreboarding (and my wikibook on computer architecture), and i think you could help me on some points. You seem to know more about the CDC 6600 scoreboard, so you could help me.

Do you have more ressources about the real CDC 6600 scoreboard ? I've already read the book "Design of a computer", but the terminology is quite hard to understand, and some things are hard to understand : are the designator stored in the scoreboard, when they are coded in unary and binary, ...). There is a reference about a patent on Q-tables, but i didn't find it.

hi mewtow I am adapting to life after multiple strokes due to domestic violence, you will need to do your own research but look at the Ooo talk page recently. Lkcl (talk) 16:14, 11 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
just a followup: the topic literally took me 6 months to understand. I had exchanges with mitch alsup about 3 times a week directly, and many more on comp.arch. we even found an error in his book chapters as I implemented the circuits, and he also found that the CDC6600 FPU was pipelined, something nobody has ever noticed before. even Thornton noted that the circuits are deceptively simple. I suggest going via the Tomasulo algorithm then following my "Tomasulo transform" page on Libre-SOC.org Lkcl (talk) 20:57, 3 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Dianna this is just not true. I am an experienced Software Libre Developer of over 25 years, and I tracked down the fact that the content is released under the Apache2 license - including the images. Lkcl (talk) 18:31, 1 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
Apache2 is not a compatible license. Here is a list of compatible licenses. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:08, 1 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
damnit ok I didn't know that. which begs the question: if it's not compatible then why the heck is there no warning on upload?? Lkcl (talk) 02:55, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
ok so can you explain exactly which clauses in the Apache2 license are not compatible with the goals intents redistributability and reuse of the Wikipedia project? has a Legal Opinion been sought and published online?

yyeah it's pretty bad. I'm lucky to be alive. I remembered what I did (so many edits since it seems like forever). I thought it was ok to take the bullet-pointed list from the FOSS GPU's markdown architecture page and convert to Wikimedia markup, not realizing the license incompatibility. the bulletlist is pretty detailed and relevant, as SIMT is so damn obtuse, esp with the word "threads" being hugely overloaded. I'll summarize instead, but could do with seeing what I wrote, as I did some insights on the bullet-list which have gone as well. is it possible to retrieve what *I* wrote? iirc it preceded the bullet-list, would have said something like "this feature {X} is part of SIMT"? thx Diannaa Lkcl (talk) 14:52, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Clarify pseudocode

edit

In the Flynn's taxonomy could you clarify the code? You use the syntaxhighlighting template with C as language even though it is not C. I think it would be better if you either wrote a real implementation in a real language or if you write pseudocode not use the syntaxhighlighting template and instead write the pseudeocode as the guidelines in MOS:PSEUDOCODE. Frap (talk) 14:47, 1 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

hi frap I cut/paste from the permute page, it was a preexisting edit and there is no concept in MOS:PSEUDOCODE for predicate masking. the syntax is deficient for expressing that very important computer science concept. hence likely reason why the original author chose syntaxhighlight.
