Do you have some references where I could learn more about that?
- kaba0 4y agoWhat I mean mostly are out-of-order-execution (reorder these instructions and return results as if they were executed in order - it is worthwhile because useful work can be done “in the background” while the CPU waits for memory. But this transformation is not too imperative in my opinion) and SIMD instructions (and in extension GPUs) are much more about transformations on data than a traditional Turing-machine - but there are no sharp boundaries anywhere here. It is just not smart to dismiss such a big and important part of CS, when it has plenty of applications.
