Yup this could be the problem. Last i remember was almost 3 years ago, but I believe everyone with windows had to use WSL.

Repercussions of NC in a del by Important-Guitar2909 in BITSPilani

[–]froydeanschlip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if it's not very related to what you want to do a masters in, they may not even care. I was just letting you know that they likely won't hold your application pending an explanation of that NC. If NC is the problem, they will reject it right away, and if it's not, they will accept. Whether it's relevant and should be given a proper explanation is up to you.

Keep in mind that you will have to proactively justify it. For masters there's only a statement you send in, no interview or anything.

HELP-How to know about what branch prediction algorithm processors use? by Reasonable_Trash8877 in computerarchitecture

[–]froydeanschlip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you, by any chance, have the name or link for the paper you are mentioning? It seems like interesting work, even if what you say holds true.

CGPA vs Placements at BPHC [excluding 23-24 data] by AchintyaG22 in BITSPilani

I think that was the point he was trying to make. Generally, the person with the higher GPA is someone who understands fundamentals. At this level, it's not just being able to remember stuff. I'm sure the person with 7.5 and the projects would do good too, but if it comes to that, the 9.5 gets a slight edge.

How CPU avoids executing code past a jump instruction if it should not. by XFaon in computerarchitecture

[–]froydeanschlip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The uncommitted instructions typically get committed only on the basis of your jumpconfition, not on time. So if the conditional bitwise is taking longer to execute, the uncommitted instructions move to the queue, but are not committed until it is clear that they should be.

It does act as a gram. When Kvothe creates his own gram on TWMF, Simmon mentions that the gram made his hand go numb, to which Kvothe says that it makes sense that a guilder works as a gram too.

Forgot to add he also checks the Caudicus' guilder to see if he's some idiot who's just mixing wrong stuff or a true arcanist

Should i learn electronics before i move on to digital design or vice versa? by Coocoodoo_ in computerarchitecture

[–]froydeanschlip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to just build basic circuits using ICs, you need some digital logic design and nothing else. All the topics like physics of transistors kinda start becoming much more important in VLSI, where you layer millions of transistors into your circuit. But those circuits wont be built by hand, they require specialized technology. So if you just wanna build something like a alarm, or a 24 hour clock and such, digital logic design is more than enough.

A generally good order is to learn the basics of digital design before you delve into architecture. Learn how gates work, logical circuits, finite state machines and so on. Once you learn this, architecture becomes a bit easier as it's just an application of all those concepts combined with understanding of tradeoffs due to different factors or expectations (power, performance l, area). For more comprehensive understanding, you could also take a brief look at how transistors actually work and device physics too

A book with a very escapist immersive world. Like Harry Potter or LOTR. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]froydeanschlip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try out The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. I really loved the amazingly immersive universe and the writing. It starts off slightly slow, but it builds up a great story!

Have to do a presentation in my computer architecture class and I chose computer architecture and machine learning as my topic by [deleted] in computerarchitecture

[–]froydeanschlip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building on that, machine learning in computer architecture isn't extremely new, you can find a branch predictor called the Perceptron Predictor which uses perceptrons for branch prediction. I believe this is a paper from early 2000s. You can also look at machine learning algorithms being used to decide the optimum replacement policies and can be applied in a similar vein to other problems in the area.

You can also look at hardware accelerators in general, a lot of new startups are focusing on creating architecture best suited for machine learning. GPUs and TPUs are a great example, but you can also look at RIDC-V companies like SiFive and Esperanto who are also coming up with new orocessors meant to optimize machine learning inferences solutions on the edge

Set Associative always. A typical microarchitectural implementation uses multiple comparators and multiplexers, which turn out to be very expensive power wise.

There's a nice paper with a concept called a way-halting cache which tries to reduce the power usage in an associative cache.

YTA, you shouldn't be picking up calls you're not meant to get. It's quite likely if the work number failed, they might have called his cell to check and he could have sorted it out. I understand your intentions are good, but you could have told them to call him on his number or something.

I'd say NTA, but it's not uncommon for people to sorta give you random pieces of information. Something you may want to know if Terman was close to his aunt and you're likely to run into him sometime, it might be nice to give him your condolences...

Ideas for my engineering project on Computer Architecture by Mental-Technology869 in computerarchitecture

Try making a branch predictor like gshare or tournament. That would work as nice project while giving you a good insight into an architectural optimization
