Detecting Infinite Loops

Can we detect if a finite program will hault and get stuck in a loop? Yes we can as long as the program does not have infite memory. What are some possible good methods to do this. Note: I did no prior research into this so no references.

Understanding the very basics...Bits!

In this video, I experiment with the basic building blocks of everything - bits. I show that math functions such as division, multiplication, and calculating Pi can be done with just OR and NOT logic gates. Note: I did no prior research into this so no references.

GCN Assembler for AMD GPUs

Worlds first open source and directly usable AMD GCN GPU compiler.

The first open source assembler/compiler written in C# .net.

It had some good ideas for an asm complier:

• First of it's kind, 3-letter abbrivated data types that would state the type(vector or scaler), size, and datatype(int/unsigned/float/bit). v4i would be vector-4byte-integer or s8f would be a double.(first of its kind?)
• It would auto allicate registers but registers could also be forced to a specific register number. (first of its kind?)
• Inline Variable Declarations - Example: "v_add_i32 int x, y, z." would declare x in the same line.(first of its kind in asm?)
• Variable Indexing - Variable indexing adds the ability to access a particular register in a multi-register variable. For example, with s8b myVar there might be a need to access the second register. This can be achieved by appending a [1] to the variable.
• Free a Variable manually - example "free myVar1" would free the name myVar1 and let the asmembler know that register was free. (first of its kind in asm?)
• Choose a register pool - example: #S_POOL s22, s23, s24, s27, s29, s30, s31, s33, s34, s35, s36, s37

CudaPad

This was a nice program called CudaPAD that had asm in a right side vertical windows and the source c++ code on the left side vertical window. This was the first of its kind - so I guess I invented it. Just a few years later another gentlemen, Matt Godbolt, had a simular idea and created GCC explorer (later named to Compiler Explorer). Seeing the popularity of this I guess I should have stuck with my CudaPAD!

Worlds First side-by-side code to Asm... t

• Worlds First side-by-side code to Asm that automaticlly updates asm
• Worlds First side-by-side code to Asm with Diff
• Worlds First side-by-side code to Asm with different compiler options in the menus
• Worlds First side-by-side code to Asm that removed junk code
• Worlds First side-by-side code to Asm with Syntex Highlihting
• Worlds First side-by-side code to Asm with Single-click register highlighting and search

What is CudaPAD?

• Enter your Cuda c++ code in the left window and the assembly shows up on the right. (Note: This 1st item was not my idea. I got this was from an AMD tool called Brooke++ from 2007)
• Automatically starts re-compiling each time a change is made in the left source window. (and it indicates it is compiling)
• Menu options at the top for selecting what compiler options
• A built in Diff shows the changes after every action.
• Visual lines match up the code in the C++ to asm on the right.
• Syntax Highlighting, Clean assembly Formatting
• Online Error/Warning Search
• Single-click register highlighting and search (added Jan 2016)
