I was not clear. I don't see when the direction of the flow of bits would be of importance, for any of my past uses. The way I picture it in my mind is >>|entrance .. exit|>> but it could be the other way around for sure.
What *seems* of value is the fact that bits close to the entrance reflect recent usage and are most significant, when bits close to the exit can be 20 minutes in the past (or more), hence less significant. I never used this information and simply tested a queue for 0/not 0. I imagine that if the empty queue sums to 0 (the way I see it), - a full queue would value *something big*, lets say 255, - a queue with only the oldest possible bit set would sum to 1 >>|00000001|>>, - updating the most recent (significant) bit to 0 on a full queue would drop the sum from 255 to 127 >>|01111111|>> Now, how 64 >>|01000000|>> depicts indeed a higher activity hint than 63 >>|00111111|>> eludes me... Maybe it is a bad idea to try looking for anything else than 0/not 0 ? -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 2 SB Classic (fw 130), 1 SB Boom (fw 50) SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: ContextMenu, SaverSwitcher by Peter Watkins Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) FindArt, CDplayer by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat by Erland Isaksson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49028
