Git Submodules basic explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.

Foreward

This document was originally written several years ago. At the time I was working as an execution core verification engineer at Arm. The following points are coloured heavily by working in and around the execution cores of various processors. Apply a pinch of salt; points contain varying degrees of opinion.

It is still my opinion that RISC-V could be much better designed; though I will also say that if I was building a 32 or 64-bit CPU today I'd likely implement the architecture to benefit from the existing tooling.

Mostly based upon the RISC-V ISA spec v2.0. Some updates have been made for v2.2

Original Foreword: Some Opinion

The RISC-V ISA has pursued minimalism to a fault. There is a large emphasis on minimizing instruction count, normalizing encoding, etc. This pursuit of minimalism has resulted in false orthogonalities (such as reusing the same instruction for branches, calls and returns) and a requirement for superfluous instructions which impacts code density both in terms of size and

Optimizing Rust container builds

I'm a Rust newbie, and one of the things that I've found frustrating is that the default docker build experience is extremely slow. As it downloads crates, then dependencies, then finally my app - I often get distracted, start doing something else, then come back several minutes later and forget what I was doing

Recently, I had the idea to make it a little better by combining multistage builds with some of the amazing features from BuildKit. Specifically, cache mounts, which let a build container cache directories for compilers & package managers. Here's a quick annotated before & after from a real app I encountered.

Before

This is a standard enough multistage Dockerfile. Nothing seemingly terrible or great here - just a normal build stage, and a smaller runtime stage.
