13:58:05hayleyThe architecture described in that paper would be implemented in hardware. Similarly though, in a general sense, CDR coding is a limited sort of compression, and Henry Baker said CDR coding should return due to memory bandwidth limits.
13:58:50Nilbysomething that would analyze objects and their use, make them less filled with zero bits
13:59:35hayleySo, a compression scheme in software?
14:00:28hayleyFor what it's worth I think Cliff Click did in-memory compression for tabular data, that could "decompress into registers". This compression would also reduce memory bandwidth substantially.
14:00:41Nilbyyes, but with compiler knowledge, e.g. when it can be reasoned that some bits will never be used
14:01:44Nilbyof course even genric things like the zippads in the paper could help
14:03:51Nilbybecause i'm weird and like to scroll around memory, it's very obvious how much is wasted, with the exception of compressed media
14:47:17pjbhayley: macOS does in memory compression, before swapping out pages to disk, it swap them out to compressed memory.
16:22:20dbottonIs there a lisp function to return the file name with out path and extension from a path or string?
16:23:59random-nickmaybe PATHNAME-NAME does what you want?
16:24:31random-nickmight not be in all cases, not sure
