@dysfun Out of curiosity, are you doing memory cleverness at the OS level, compiler/core library level, or userspace level? Because if you're at OS or compiler/core levels of the system you can do some Really Clever Things with the MMU that aren't phenomenally expensive...

@dysfun I think I might have read this paper in another lifetime. It looks familiar lol.

@dysfun Those are normally only found in electronics papers. This must be especially cursed CS

@dysfun reminds me of this diagram I needed for class

@dysfun is @cstross a co author?

@dysfun

@dysfun you do need to summon satan in order to deal with multithreading, so is it too far off?

@dysfun 🤘

@dysfun Hey! Yes, you! Come over here! Yes, out of the pentagram. Don't worry, you'll be fine.

@dysfun
I mean given that multiple threads are involved, I'm not surprised

@dysfun are you trying to summon daemons?

I'd call it pentagraph. Or pentagron. Because it is pentagram in pentagon.

@dysfun After a series of strange occurrences, the authors of that paper were never seen or heard from again…..

@dysfun This looks like a way to summon philosophers. For dinner.
