You may have noticed the“MarsCon Dementia Track” has changed its name to the“MarsCon Comedy Music Track”. This something I have been thinking about doing for a few years. The main reason I wanted to make this change is because, unlike other words that started in fandom circles that wen...
In other words, each group of A bits in the original bit vector is simply aggregated to a single bit in the aggregate bit vector. The aggregate size A can be tuned to optimize the performance of the entire scheme. A natural choice for A is the word size of the memory that makes it ...
