Draft talk:WKdm

Concerning certain source for "Algorithms" section
I have only one inline citation for Matthew Simpson et al.'s paper that is in the "Algorithm" section ( as opposed to the citations in the rest of the article), in the "Compression" sub-section, in the second paragraph near the beginning. The reason for this is that Simpson et al.'s paper doesn't mention "tags" or "segments" and only provides a very general overview of the algorithm, which tends more towards "motivation" than a technical explanation.

I *could* add more citations to the aforementioned source to the "Algorithm" section, although I don't know if it would be appropriate.

Any suggestions? Jdbtwo (talk) 15:08, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Proprietary apple hardware implementation of WKdm
It seems there may be a proprietary hardware implementation of the WKdm algorithm in Apple's latest ARM-based processors. Unfortunately, the instructions involved -- "wkdmd" and "wkdmc" -- and any details about these instructions have been stripped from Apple's opensource releases. All I could really find were three sources :,  and.

Due to the instructions currently being undocumented, and the lack of reliable sources, I can't include information about this in the article.

Hopefully Apple will choose to document the aforementioned instructions at which point I can include information about the undocumented hardware implementation in the article unless someone can come up with several *reliable* sources now, but I doubt that will happen due to my extensive searches yielding no additional sources other than the unreliable sources I've already mentioned.
