Course Project Stage 1: deciding which software

Introduction I have finally entering the final stages of SPO600. At this point we (students) are to decide on a software to study upon as the final project of this course. To my understanding, this project consist of three stages: -Fine an open source software (ie. codec) and benchmark its performance on both Aarch64 and x86_64 -Identify the area of poor performance on the software and methods for improvement on both Aarch64 and x86_64 -Dive into the identified area and identify what approaches we have for improvement. Demonstrate on both Aarch64 and x86_64 Deciding on the software After many days of reading..... to be honest I still haven't fully grasp on the detailed procedures of what I have to do. I believe I lack the knowledge to execute all the task required. Since I don't feel confidence in my ability to completing the project, I believe its best to pick a software which I believe I understands. In this case, I decided on one of the file compression software. ...

Introduction

Hello to anyone reading this, My name is Dennis Yick Ming Lam and I am a student of the Seneca College in the CPA program, currently running through the SPO600 class which stands for Software Portability and Optimization. Even though my choices of courses for this semester was limited, none the less I am still very excited to see what I can learn from this class. This class uses Blogging as the main source of submission, and since I have never Blog before this class, this is a very new and exciting way to begin. For those who would comment on my future posts, thank you for spending time reading mine and please go easy on me.

Lab 02: 6502 Assembly Language Lab

Paste this code into the emulator: lda #$00 ; set a pointer at $40 to point to $0200 sta $40 lda #$02 sta $41 lda #$07 ; colour ldy #$00 ; set index to 0 loop: sta ($40),y ; set pixel iny ; increment index bne loop ; continue until done the page inc $41 ; increment the page ldx $41 ; get the page cpx #$06 ; compare with 6 bne loop ; continue until done all pages  Add this instruction after the  loop:  label and before the  sta ($40),y  instruction: tya What visual effect does this cause, and how many colours are on the screen? Why? Answer:  The bitmap would display columns  of 16 colors repeating once.  The reason is because we use "lda #$07" to load accumulator "a" as our designated  color, when  we add "tya" at the start of our loop, we transfer "y" to "a". So as "y" increment, so does our color "a". And since the max number of "y" we have is 32, it would repeat the color ...
