Re: Suggestions on implementing an efficient instruction set simulator in LuaJIT2 (2011)

Using LuaJIT2 for an ISA simulator can improve simulation speed and development cycle.

Why this scored 34

every term, weighted
Velocity+4.7 / 40

Engagement gained per hour since the last capture, against the fastest item on its own source

Acceleration+20.0 / 25

Whether that velocity is itself speeding up, as a per-hour rate

Cross-source spread+0.0 / 25

How many independent communities are talking about the same entity

Recency+9.4 / 10

Decays to zero over 14 days

Saturation penalty−0.4 / 30

Subtracted once something is big and old — we rank what's next, not what's peaked

Composite33.8

Weights are hand-tuned, not learned — we're calibrating them against realized trends as history accumulates. On a topic's first sighting there's no previous reading to compare against, so acceleration starts from a neutral prior rather than a measurement, and velocity falls back to engagement over its whole lifetime until a second reading exists.
