==Progress===

* Off for one day during the week for Diwali. * Connect preparation - Wrote down areas to look at during connect and tried to plan what we want to look at during connect. * Looked at some of the cases with vcond<float> with Ira and helped frame blueprint. * Investigated one of the big performance regressions in the popular embedded benchmark and looked at why it wasn't being vectorized only to realize that it couldn't be. Thanks Ira. Still don't know why ARM state is 22% faster than Thumb2 state. * Looked at the issue with fPIC where GCSE appears to remove a label for sometime but not much progress.

=== Plans ===
