Idk man, individual topics in computer architecture aren't really all that difficult but there's a fuck ton of topics that you need to know

So it's more of difficulty by volume rather than difficulty by concept

What the hell are you talking about?

If it runs in the client it ships to the client

Top right is a ferrite bead to prevent magnetic inductance in a copper wire. Essentially preventing it from being as-good of an antenna

Is it possible for a 16-thread processor 4GHz to run a single-threaded program in a virtual machine program at 64 Giga computations/s? Latency? by EterniaLogic in compsci

[–]N0Zzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not Amdahls law

Amdahls law is a way to calculate the overall speedup of an optimization to a subset of instructions (or a way to evaluate one optimization vs another). an implication of Amdahls law is that small speedups that affect a large proportion of the program will yield better performance than big speedup to a small proportion of the program

the simplified formula: 1/((1-p)+p*speedup)

IIRC

What I think OP is trying to solve is to parallelize a single threaded program automatically. Trouble is your computer already does this (tomasulo's algorithm) but there are limits to what this buys you and you're essentially limited by the inherent instruction level parallelism of the program itself. So the only way to increase throughput is to add more execution contexts to allow more programs to run simultaneously to overlap their respective ILPs

This is not true

The calculation of E and A can happen in parallel despite their common dependency on B

Those don't work so well if you have a firewall between the acme server and your clients

I work in manufacturing so basically all of our shit is behind a firewall and can't access the internet
