This code implements the basic functions for an I2C slave device using the SSP module. All I2C functions are handled in an ISR. Bytes written to the slave are stored in a buffer. After a number of bytes have been written, the master device can then read the bytes back from the buffer.
OXCC is a multipass, interpreting C compiler with several language extensions. It generates an Architecture Neutral Format (ANF) output and comes with a couple of example back ends. Programmers are expected to write additional back ends for their specific needs.
The module LSQ is for unconstrained linear least-squares fitting. It is
based upon Applied Statistics algorithm AS 274 (see comments at the start
of the module). A planar-rotation algorithm is used to update the QR-
factorization. This makes it suitable for updating regressions as more
data become available. The module contains a test for singularities which
is simpler and quicker than calculating the singular-value decomposition.
An important feature of the algorithm is that it does not square the condition
number. The matrix X X is not formed. Hence it is suitable for ill-
conditioned problems, such as fitting polynomials.
By taking advantage of the MODULE facility, it has been possible to remove
many of the arguments to routines. Apart from the new function VARPRD,
and a back-substitution routine BKSUB2 which it calls, the routines behave
as in AS 274.
Although there has been a lot of AVL tree libraries available now, nearly all of them are meant to work in the random access memory(RAM). Some of them do provide some mechanism for dumping the whole tree into a file and loading it back to the memory in order to make data in that tree persistent. It serves well when there s just small amount of data. When the tree is somewhat bigger, the dumping/loading process could take a lengthy time and makes your mission-critical program less efficient. How about an AVL tree that can directly use the disk for data storage ? If there s something like that, we won t need to read through the whole tree in order to pick up just a little bit imformation(a node), but read only the sectors that are neccssary for locating a certain node and the sectors in which that node lies. This is my initial motivation for writing a storage-media independent AVL Tree. However, as you step forth, you would find that it not only works fine with disks but also fine with memorys, too.
