I remember reading a computer architecture book that used a fictional MIPS instruction set and used washing and drying clothes as an example of how to pipeline / do parallel instructions. Does anyone remember the name of that book?
- EdwardCoffin 7y agoThat might be the DLX architecture used in some of the earlier Patterson and Hennessey texts.

Lecture notes for the class from which it was born show a two-stage Laundromat model (with snarky MIT/Harvard humor) https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-004-computation-structures-spring-2009/lecture-notes/MIT6_004s09_lec08.pdf https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-compu...
- opencl 7y agoThat description probably applies to several computer architecture books, but the one I read was like that and called "Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface".
