Hiya Folks... This one's for the Pentium programmers from Alan...sorry non-comp people... Wishes & Dreams... - ANDREA -- ************<andrea@bloodaxe.demon.co.uk>************ ******************<ajc6@ukc.ac.uk>******************* *** *** *** THE LOONY BIN *** *** loonies@bloodaxe.demon.co.uk *** *** *** ***************************************************** **********************ANDROMEDA********************** ------- Forwarded message follows ------- I was at the Computer Game Developers Conference and went to Chris Hecker's floating point optimization lecture. After the lecture I went into the bathroom and noticed that it was both pipelined and superscalar. pipelined because the process was split into four concurrent stages: - entering the room - urinating - washing up - leaving the room superscalar because there were: - four urinals. - three sinks. A good example of processor architecture, no ? :)
