nope, not mine

haqreuon Tinyrenderer second edition: software rendering in 500 lines of bare C++

A full rewrite to the computer graphics course.

haqreuon TinyCompiler: A compiler in a week-end

I'll definitely test maximal SSA + DCE in tinyoptimizer when I'll get to it. For the moment I made [1] somewhat-pruned mem2reg pass, not even sure how to call it. But it indeed required to compute dominance frontiers.

I removed it, no need to offend people with racial slur, especially when it is not intended.

haqreuon TinyCompiler: A compiler in a week-end

Hum. Did not anticipate that, thank you for pointing out.

haqreuon TinyCompiler: A compiler in a week-end

Thank you!

haqreuon TinyCompiler: A compiler in a week-end

Thank you for the reference, I'll check it.

Why not fully maximal SSA + DCE? I mean, other than timings consideration. Fully maximal does not even need any graph traversal, it is entirely local to each block.

I'd argue that Lengauer-Tarjan is overrated. While it is neat, it's premature optimization IMHO. Fully maximal SSA (at the entry of each block insert a phi-node for each variable) + dead code elimination (we need it anyways) is much simpler.

haqreuon TinyCompiler: A compiler in a week-end

The "week-end" part refers to the fact that I wrote it in one week-end with little to no experience in compiler design. You can check the commit history, 12 to 14 Jan, 2024 :)

Have you ever wondered how a compiler works, but you never found courage to find out? Then this series of articles is for you.

haqreuon Building a ternary computer at home: a software emulator

Here is the schematics:

two ternary multiplexers out of two dg403 chips.

haqreuon Building a ternary computer at home: a software emulator

AFAIK it was never built, only partially designed.

haqreuon Building a ternary computer at home: a software emulator

This is ROM only, not a fully functioning computer.

haqreuon Building a ternary computer at home: a software emulator

Fun!

Setun is the only example, and it had a binary memory.

haqreuon KABOOM in 180 lines of bare C++

Yes it does, however you'd need to modify CMakeLists.txt, as it is written for g++

Funny how you did not notice that the project is focused on the GPU :)
