- RyJones 11y agoI wonder if he worked with early UltraSPARC chips. There were tales of an interesting bug report from the NSA. It's been 20 years, so I probably have every detail wrong, but it was something like a missed implementation of a version of ROTL that the CPU was basically emulating at several orders of magnitude performance penalty. No other customer found it.
