Pete's Log: comp arch misery
Entry #957, (School)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
I'm not even going to bother pointing out the small things that bother me in the description for this comp arch assignment. Instead I shall present the description as a whole:
"Look through the literature/web and find as much as possible about the Pentium III and the latest Intel product with particular reference to the processor. Sort out the details as to how the speedup is being accomplished in each. Do a comparison as best as possible and then write a short paper on your findings using as many diagrams as possible to elucidate details."
Now maybe it's just me, maybe I'm being petty or something. But somehow it seems to me that this is a really stupid and worthless assignment for a graduate level computer architecture course. ugh. And who the hell says "elucidate" ?!
