Yup, I'm going to start logging meticulously. I'm going to keep it all on this single page.

20131015

Started logging. Going to backlog, so to speak, i.e. write log for previous days. That means that logs that are before this date were not written at that time, but rather today!

20131009

Updated the .vim syntax highlighter to accomodate for the new changes in the isa. Specifically: conditions. Also added support for multi-line comments.

20130924

Cleaned up VHDL, removed lame header comments, fixed up the PRNG module.

20130922

Wrote .vim syntax highlighter for the galapagos assembly.

20130919

Wrote a PRNG test program in C to test fast random algorithms to see if they are suitable for our purposes. The test uses dieharder. The random algo as it is now is quite fast, but is not that great in terms of randomness. If we throw away some of the bits generated, it will become much better, according to the tests.

20130918

Tidying and clerical work in the report.

20130917

Improved tooling in the report repo.

20130912

Started working on the ISA documentation.

20130910

Implemented a continuous GA simulation in python to see if continuous GA is usable. As it turns out, it is arguably better.

20130909

Discussion with FPGA group in Bjørn's office about the genetics pipeline architecture, and specifically, how to implement the specimen memory banks. The idea of continuous GA cropped up, but we need to do a test to verify if it actually works.

20130830

Put a minimal report shell on github, added some latex tips and instructions.
