The series will cover computer architecture, processor circuit design, VLSI (very-large-scale integration), chip fabrication, and future trends in computing.

Interesting argument against the current state of HTTPS certification.

Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

(mar 1997, student project) Bibliographic study, implementation, optimization and simulation of the soft decoding of some linear error correcting codes (ECC). This study was especially focused on the soft decoding of the parity extended BCH(32,31) code used by the ERMES paging standard. An original point was to show how to soft-decode random linear ECCs. This study was initiated by JC Belfiore . You can get the postscript report in French. The source code of the generic simulation engine is available uppon request.

Hyper-linked and cross referenced rendition of the sources, much like doxygen or lxr does it. The desired features were:

cover boot, kernel, networking, library and user level code
cover C, assembler and other relevant languages with syntax highlighting
provide 'what is used where' information, over the whole system
provide hyperlinks for a fast code path analysis, especially across the user,library,kernel interfaces
support to follow the execution logic of a system call starting from user code, through the library layer, through the kernel interface, to the kernel code by just following hyperlinks.
