I downloaded the code to generate a
graph of the Linux
kernel. The code downloaded is for the 2.4.0 kernel, but I run 2.0.x at
home.
So I decided to see if it would work for the 2.0.x kernel. Sure enough, a
few tweaks in the makefile to remove some sections that aren't in the 2.0.x
kernel and about three hours later, the analysis phase is done (I did this
at work were I have some serious horse power). I then generated the
postscript files.
I generated the 6x6 display, which consisted of 36 sheets of 8.5" by
11" paper. Each file was approximately 12 megabytes in size.
Oof.
Compressed.
Ouch.
Uncompressed, each file was 53 megabytes in size.
Good God Almighty!
I printed out the first two pages, and at 4'3" by 5'6" it's
too small to make out any detail.
I then generated a 9x9 poster, making it 6'4.5" by 8'3" in size,
and it's still too small!
Good Lord, how big do I need to make this thing?
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
