Slightly tangential experiment: I'm commenting here because this thread is quite close to the top of the page, and the top-level comment I left with the following info is not likely to become un-buried at this point. Just wanted to say

I was curious how much work it would be, so headed to ark.intel.com. The filter for "Max Turbo Frequency" seems to be broken, BUT searching for "Cache: '4MB L3 SmartCache'" (which I assume means shared!) finds

What year (or decade) was this, and what ballpark of OPS did it run at? That's amazing. Was the device able to be downclocked for certain tests?

Is this a POSIX signal? How easy is it to handle from Java? Also, I'm genuinely curious about what you mean by "properly used read()". Could you give an example?

This is a fair bit more than that, "Hit ESC to begin" actually takes you to the main menu. That said... I got an (untraceable) Emscripten JS exception when I tried to start a new game. As an aside, I tried this on an old ThinkPad
