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 ?
