It was in my second year 'computer architecture' class, except in much more grueling detail.
How much more? There are quite a few topics here that weren't covered in my introductory architecture course (e.g. speculation, VLIW, register renaming), though they were in the senior-level one.
- sliverstorm 16y agoHe means this is a summary of what they covered, and that the actual class simply spent a week or three on each subject. Obviously if you've got 3 weeks to talk about caches, you're going to learn more (details) about them than what can be written in a paragraph or two.
- kd0amg 16y agoOk, I thought he meant the post was a summary of something more detailed than the course.
- rbanffy 16y agoI find it somewhat amusing many of these things were not invented when I had my introductory architecture course...
