Seems like that there is a resurgence/renaissance of retro-tech lately and I can't be more glad to see that. I think retro-tech is not limited to just nostalgia, having hardware that we can actually see how it works is great. Nowadays, the amount of optimization on both hardware and software makes it almost near impossible to understand even how a simple instruction works. The whole Spectre/meltdown fiasco was just an illustration of the complexity and its complications. Nowadays, I sometimes program in CUDA C and I would think most programmers don't even touch that level, let alone assembly and low level hardware. __ Huan Truong _______________________________________________ Triangle, NC Embedded Computing mailing list To post message: [email protected] List info: http://mail.triembed.org/mailman/listinfo/triembed_triembed.org TriEmbed web site: http://TriEmbed.org To unsubscribe, click link and send a blank message: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
