How to compare two circuits based on their utilization - vhdl

I have some hardware IPs that I need to synthesize. And the IP contains several generic parameters I can play with. Each combination of parameters gives me a different utilization report after synthesis and implementation.
So for example for two different configurations Design_1 and Design_2, I get the following in Vivado 2018.1. The 3rd line is the ratio of the values of Design_2 devided by values of Design_1.
So as you can see in this simple example, Design_2 has less Slice LUTs but slightly more F7 Muxes.
My question is how to conclude about the cost of each one? Should I privilege Slice LUTs or Registers ...etc?

It's depending on your needs, LUTs and F7 Muxes are differents physical cells in your FPGA. So even if you don't use its, its will be there.
If you have one ressource more critical than the other, you should try to minimize the utilisation of the critical ressource to simplify the place and route.
If you have nothing critical, I think the better is to use F7 Muxes first because Slice LUTs are more flexible for the rest of your design.

Which model should I use? xtlogit or xtprobit

I have the following panel data set with very large N (500,000) and small T (15 years). My dependent variable is Project1 or project 2. I want to estimate the likelihood of Project dependent on treated with year and village fixed effects. For the continuous dependent variable, I was using reghdfe.
The dependent variable is simply that when a village gets the project the dummy is equal to 1 and remains 1 for the subsequent years.
I am aware that I cannot use "probit" command in STATA as I have a panel. Can you suggest which model should I use?

Your question has two parts. Which model of Logit and Probit is more appropriate for you, and how to implement the appropriate model in Stata. As #NickCox mentioned, the former is most appropriate for Cross Validated, and has received robust discussion there: Difference between logit and probit models

I am new to hive, i am not sure how to implement it.
NOTE: I don't want to do mapping because my month values change over time.

I am interested to know why the WINDOW SORT operation in step #6 is requiring so many buffer gets. I usually don't see that sort of thing for a WINDOW SORT operation. For example see the operation in step 21 of the same plan -- no additional buffer gets.
Does anyone know what these buffer gets are? I suspect that maybe the sort operation is spilling to disk, due to its size, and the extra buffer gets are to access those temp tablespace blocks. I'd like confirmation or alternate explanations, as appropriate. Thanks.
UPDATE
To hopefully clarify: I want to know why step 6 required added buffer gets beyond what was required to get through step 7. I.e., why it is not like the buffer gets in step 21, which did not increase the number from what was necessary to get through step 22.

Oracle "Total" plan cost is really less than some of it's elements

I cannot figure out why sometimes, the total cost of a plan can be a very small number whereas looking inside the plan we can find huge costs. (indeed the query is very slow).
Can somebody explain me that?
Here is an example.
Apparently the costful part comes from a field in the main select that does a listagg on a subview and the join condition with this subview contains a complex condition (we can join on one field or another).

Your plan looks like #3 but we can't be sure without looking at code.
1. FILTER
Execution plans may depend on conditions at run-time. These conditions cause FILTER operations that will dynamically decide which query block to execute. The example below uses a static condition but still demonstrates the concept. Part of the subquery is very expensive but the condition negates the whole thing.
explain plan for select * from dba_objects cross join dba_objects where 1 = 2;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(format => 'basic +cost'));
Plan hash value: 3258663795
--------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Cost (%CPU)|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 0 (0)|
| 1 | FILTER | | |
| 2 | MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN | | 11M (3)|
...
2. COUNT STOPKEY
Execution plans sum child operations up until the final cost. But child operations will not always finish. In the example below it may be correct to say that part of the plan costs 214. But because of the condition where rownum <= 1 only part of that child operation may run.
explain plan for
select /*+ no_query_transformation */ *
from (select * from dba_objects join dba_objects using (owner))
where rownum <= 1;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(format => 'basic +cost'));
Plan hash value: 2132093199
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Cost (%CPU)|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 4 (0)|
| 1 | COUNT STOPKEY | | |
| 2 | VIEW | | 4 (0)|
| 3 | VIEW | | 4 (0)|
| 4 | NESTED LOOPS | | 4 (0)|
| 5 | VIEW | DBA_OBJECTS | 2 (0)|
| 6 | UNION-ALL | | |
| 7 | HASH JOIN | | 3 (34)|
| 8 | INDEX FULL SCAN | I_USER2 | 1 (0)|
| 9 | VIEW | _CURRENT_EDITION_OBJ | 1 (0)|
| 10 | FILTER | | |
| 11 | HASH JOIN | | 214 (3)|
...
3. Subqueries in the SELECT column list
Cost aggregation does not include subqueries in the SELECT column list. A query like select ([expensive query]) from dual; will have a very small total cost. I don't understand the reason for this; Oracle estimates the subquery and he number of rows in the FROM, surely it could multiply them together for a total cost.
explain plan for
select dummy,(select count(*) from dba_objects cross join dba_objects) from dual;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(format => 'basic +cost'));
Plan hash value: 3705842531
---------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Cost (%CPU)|
---------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 2 (0)|
| 1 | SORT AGGREGATE | | |
| 2 | MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN | | 11M (3)|
...
4. Other - rounding? bugs?
About 0.01% of plans still have unexplainable cost issues. I can't find any pattern among them. Perhaps it's just a rounding issue or some rare optimizer bugs. There will always be some weird cases with a any model as complicated as the optimizer.
Check for more exceptions
This query can find other exceptions, it returns all plans where the first cost is less than the maximum cost.
select *
from
(
--First and Max cost per plan.
select
sql_id, plan_hash_value, id, cost
,max(cost) keep (dense_rank first order by id)
over (partition by sql_id, plan_hash_value) first_cost
,max(cost)
over (partition by sql_id, plan_hash_value) max_cost
,max(case when operation = 'COUNT' and options = 'STOPKEY' then 1 else 0 end)
over (partition by sql_id, plan_hash_value) has_count_stopkey
,max(case when operation = 'FILTER' and options is null then 1 else 0 end)
over (partition by sql_id, plan_hash_value) has_filter
,count(distinct(plan_hash_value))
over () total_plans
from v$sql_plan
--where sql_id = '61a161nm1ttjj'
order by 1,2,3
)
where first_cost < max_cost
--It's easy to exclude FILTER and COUNT STOPKEY.
and has_filter = 0
and has_count_stopkey = 0
order by 1,2,3;

mysql table unaligned in console output when using UTF8

I like to use mysql client. But when using UTF-8, the tables on the console are unaligned:
> set names utf8;
> [some query]

This is apparently because mysql client will compute the widths of the columns using string length which doesn't take UTF-8 characters into account - so then there is exactly one space missing for each accented character (because these actually take two bytes).
Do you know possible workaround for this problem?
Run your mysql client with charset option:
mysql -uUSER -p DATABASE --default-character-set=utf8
(USER and DATABASE should be replaced with actual credentials data)
