Chip design is SUCH an advanced topic. It's potentially one of the most advanced human disciplines at the moment.
I have a friend[0] that is doing his Electronics Engineering masters in Germany (very prestigious engineering university) and they're studying a freaking Pentium 4. Even for them the cutting edge chip design is black magic.

- amelius 2y agoIs Hennessy and Patterson still the main book used in universities?
- MrsPeaches 2y agoA list + links would be much appreciated!
- ChoGGi 2y agoReplying for a reminder to check later. Might enjoy this video, though it's a bit basic: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4

- nxobject 2y agoQuestion: there's a lot of hands-on learning resources on the construction of a simple microcoded processor, or an in-order pipelined processor where the most headache-inducing thing you have to deal with is forwarding results – but is there one on the essential elements of "modern" superscalar OoO, e.g. the circuits that check for hazards and delay dispatching etc.? It's not that it's magic I would love to learn about: it's that I'd like to know what happens behind the scenes when we say that (for example) "results get reordered in the reorder buffer"!
