Feb 1, 2026

February 2026: Delivered an update to the memory map for the ucb-bar/radiance project, focusing on the GPU reset aggregator and core flush MMIO entries to improve memory management. Key changes include adding new address mappings for the GPU reset aggregator and adjusting existing core flush MMIO mappings, enabling more reliable GPU control paths. No major bugs fixed this month based on available data. Impact: strengthens reliability of GPU reset/flush mechanisms and reduces risk of misaddressed MMIO operations, enabling smoother future feature work. Technologies/skills: memory map design, MMIO handling, GPU control paths, git-based version control.
