| 16:37 | <@ToxicFrog> | This course rocks. |
| 16:37 | <@ToxicFrog> | "There is no midterm. There is only one assignment, periodically reviewed: design and implement a CPU. We will start with instruction sets..." |
| 16:38 | <@Vornicus> | ...damn |
| 16:39 | <@ToxicFrog> | (in practice it's several subassignments - eg, you're expected to have the instruction set specced by the end of the first month) |
| 16:43 | <@Vornicus> | of course. |
| 16:45 | <@ToxicFrog> | We will also be studying MIPS as an example of an existing arch. |
| 16:45 | <@Vornicus> | awesome. |
| 16:46 | | * Vornicus wants to take this course. |
| 16:46 | <@gnolam> | VHDL/Verilog and FPGAs? |
| 16:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | VHDL and FPGAs, yes. |
| 16:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | We don't have a fabrication facility for undergrads~ |
| 16:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | Wow. Course overview: introduction; instruction sets; data path; control path; pipelinening; advanced pipelinening and instruction-level parallelism; dynamic scheduling. |
| 16:48 | | * Vornicus needs to take this course. |
| 16:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | Instruction sets, data path and control path were touched on last year, but very simply, as part of a 3-register, 16-instruction processor with no peripherals. |
| 16:52 | <@jerith> | That sound like a combination of our Digital Processes and bits of Embedded Systems. |
| 16:54 | <@gnolam> | Sounds like a combination of our Computer Hardware and Architecture and Digital Construction. |

| 18:38 | <@ToxicFrog> | Heh. |
| 18:43 | < MinceR> | obviously, by writing it and selling it for lots of money and thus getting rich. |

| 18:43 | <@McMartin> | I really need to add this channel to my autojoins. |
| 18:44 | <@Vornicus> | A good idea. |
| 18:44 | <@Vornicus> | "Your 'use case' should be, there's a 22 year old college student living in the dorms. How will this software get him laid?" |
| 18:44 | <@Vornicus> | For those of you who missed it the first time. |
| 18:44 | <@McMartin> | Clearly, by meaning he needs less time to do his work, giving him time to go out. |
| 18:44 | <@McMartin> | Minimize interaction time! |
| 18:45 | <@Vornicus> | That certainly helps, yes. |
| 18:45 | <@Vornicus> | Make it easy for him to share the cool stuff he made with it, too. |
| 18:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | Shitbiskits. "case foo in $PATTERN)" is not legal. |
| 18:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | Or rather, it's legal, but it doesn't work. |
| 18:46 | <@Vornicus> | TF: language? |
| 18:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | Bash. |
| 18:46 | <@Vornicus> | ah. |
| 18:46 | <@Vornicus> | I have seen very few really good implementations of case. |
| 18:46 | | * ToxicFrog upshifts |
| 18:47 | <@Vornicus> | And now I can't remember what language had the one I liked. |

| 18:50 | <@ToxicFrog> | eval sorted it, but still, that shouldn't be necessary. |
| 18:51 | <@ToxicFrog> | On the plus side, it's convenient being able to expand variables inside singlequotes. |

| 21:03 | < Attilla> | The getting a second fac ething? |
| 21:03 | <@Vornicus> | So, much thrashing, and a bit of sinking, and not much forward motion. |
| 21:03 | <@Vornicus> | A pity. |
