12/14 Just want to comment on Brodersen (cs152). Total bull shit.
Last lecture says "general purpose CPU is the WRONG way
to go. Parallel computing is the wrong way to go. Software is
the worst thing in the world. DSP s the way to go. By the way
BDTI and BWRC are hiring"
\_ For what? I took 152 with Kubi and he brought Brodersen in
as a guest lecturer. Broderson specializes in low energy
mobile devices so for that matter it makes sense to say
that a custom ASIC design that lacks any general purpose
characteristic is the proper way to go. By the way, what
does the W in BWRC stand for? That should answer your
question.
\_ who the fuck are you? nice degree.
\_ perhaps he's sick of buggy software coming from you people.
\_ "... you people". RACIST!
\_ that'd be SPECIEIST!
\_ No. Clearly that's RACIST! As in "You Asians all
look a like". Or "You blacks are all crackheads".
See? RACIST! Races are not species.
\_ uh, who's the crackhead here?
\_ I bet he meant that there will be diminishing return on investing
in uni-processor system. Parallel, distributed computing
would make greater use of existing hardware. (which is
a much stronger statement than is said in Patterson's book..) |
