LAB 3 PART 1

 For this lab we were tasked with creating a simple game or using open source code and adding some of our own code to it. The lab is based on the 6502 assembler and is written in assembly language, for this task I found a classic game of snake that is written in assembly and it is a little complex but I was able to follow it and make a few changes. 

Green highlight is my code and edits, Blue code is important to user input and movements

SPO600 Lab1

 Lab 1 for SPO600: I have picked node.js and openSSL, the reason I have picked both of these is that I have had the chance to work with Node in the past and found openSSL to be kind of cool never learned about it till I researched it. 1.) Node.js is an open software package that uses permissive MIT license for the main library. More information can be found here \ https://snyk.io/learn/node-js-licensing-and-security-risks/ . Node.js accepts contributions from developers by using Github, here developers can add patches to the software. This link will redirect to the Github page  https://github.com/nodejs/node . There is a total 3,131 contributors to this software, a user by the name mhdawson  seems to be the lead of the project and others can post and patch as well. There is a link here  https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#pull-requests  that will allow you to apply to become a contributor to the project.     One of the code pa...

SPO600(Project 3.2 FInal Post and thoughts on project and course)

Please Read 3.0 and 3.1 post as well!!  Thoughts on the tool and project. I believe that this can be very useful if expanded, what I mean by this is that I limited this tool just taking in C code using Python, That can be incredibly useful in the sense that if I only had an IDE such as Vs code (Made up example) that only was able to execute python that could become an issue if I need to execute a C style file or code bloc. This tool that I made was able to take that C and still give the desired output using Python language and syntax. This could be done in principial with any kind of code coming to the tool such as C++, Java and all other kinds. This tool could also be put onto other soft ware and is very modular in design.  This tool can be used very well to choose specific architecture, for my tool it was for aarch64 SME, SME2 and ASIMD, Proving the tool worked for choosing the methods was done in my 3.0 post and it shows we can choose a function using the tool that I had ma...

Project Plan

 I don't no why it would not show up (I just came back to blog more) Project Plan This is going to be a break down of my plan for SPO600 final project, for this project we are going to be doing a proof of concept to test i func procedures " The goal for this project is to produce a proof-of-concept tool that will take code that meets specific conditions and automatically build it with ifunc capability to select between multiple, autovectorized versions of a function, to take advantage of the best SIMD implementation available on the CPU on which the code is running. " (Chris Tyler) To test the solution some code has been provided  https://github.com/ctyler/spo600-fall2022-project-test-code For this task I am going to be using JSnode for the code and plan to write it on VS code or Atom. I am using these languages as I am familiar with that set up. We have some limitations to the project which are the following: This tool only operates on aarch64 systems There are three ta...
