I like computer architecture. Now working on networks at Google's Madison, WI office. Views my own.

@HeningerJesse @Chanter1944 @WISCTV_News3 @madisontraffic I'm so sorry.

@weblogarithms I get mad when things aren't poisson. They should be.

ISCA 2024 will be in Buenos Aires, Argentina! Plan to submit your best work 😊 Let's make it a success! #CompArch

@srivoire I'll give this a read, thanks. I enjoy the contrast of the hopeful intro and the conclusion where they basically say "it'll be years before compilers are able to write good code for this."

[Lena Olson @zehlyi]

Does anyone have a favorite talk/article on itanium? My reading group wants to discuss it, but I'm having trouble finding much. Something at a level for an intro grad-level arch class would be about right.

[Lena Olson @zehlyi]

@filipe_mulonde @_onurmutlu_ That looks great! Thanks. :) I should have thought of searching for VLIW and not just itanium...

[Lena Olson @zehlyi]

Nothing here is very surprising. Academia doesn't take good care of students.

Well, the good news is that now I know what stinging nettle looks like...

@anuragkar09 The whole reason ARM uses a relaxed memory model is not because of performance, but because they couldn't use something like TSO... they had to use the ARM model: Arbitrarily Reordered Memory.

[Lena Olson @zehlyi]

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that the ARM architecture profiles (Application, Realtime, and Microcontroller) might have had their names chosen for reasons beyond describing their purpose...

[Lena Olson @zehlyi]

@anuragkar09 Translations are not stored in a TLB on ARM, but rather in the Address Memoization Registers.

The 3rd Undergraduate Mentoring workshop is on at ISCA 2021 now. We are thrilled to have @jawache from @Microsoft as our first keynote on Green software engineering: building carbon-efficient and carbon-aware applications! @zehlyi @ARHmahmoud

@SreepathiPai I would assume then that your default expansion of ILP matches mine.

[Lena Olson @zehlyi]

I heard a supposed computer architect use ILP to mean Integer Linear Programming and now I'm concerned he is an infiltrator from the optimization community...

@danrkports @johnregehr @alpha_convert @sydgibs @typer_uma One year the only shirt size left when I checked in was men's XL, which goes past my knees. And that is why I have an ISCA 2012 dress, obviating the need for pants. You could try that?
