Programming is one of my favorite pastimes. My main interest area tends to be hardware control and interfacing. However I frequently cross over into other areas when I find interesting problems. Such problems include my mathematics projects and extend as far out as biological physics.

Tiny-Machine

tiny-machine is a virtual machine which executes programs written in the Tiny Machine language, as defined by Kenneth C. Louden in his book Compiler Construction Principles and Practice. It is entirely written in Guile Scheme and utilizes a PEG parser to implement its interpreter in an enjoyably concise way. As an example, the entire implementation of tiny-machine's fetch-execute cycle is shown below. This includes the definition of all seventeen instructions in the Tiny Machine language:

Affinity and AFiNeS

Affinity is a program I wrote for plotting the output of the Active Filament Network Simulation (AFiNeS) program. It allows the evolving cytoskeletal actin networks to be visualized as either a GIF animation or in real time during the simulation. Affinity uses libplot from the plotutils package.
