- wmf 3y agoNope, Parallela was the wrong thing at the time and it's still wrong. Cache is good.
- rewmie 3y ago> Nope, Parallela was the wrong thing at the time and it's still wrong. Can you elaborate?
- wmf 3y agoIt didn't have DRAM or caches. Programming with scratchpads is so difficult that people just give up.
- imtringued 3y agoScratchpads are the memory equivalent of VLIW. Processors can extract parallelism dynamically at runtime. They can also manage your memory automatically at run time. Better yet, they can utilize hardware resources instead of software resources. It is such an obvious win.
- bee_rider 3y agoAre you saying that scratchpads were like VLIW in the sense that they seemed like a really cool idea, but failed because people didn’t want to manually code things well enough to take advantage of them?
