An ABSOLUTELY Unmissable Talk on Modern Hardware
Iff[sic] you are a programmer, if you don’t do anything else even if you don’t eat and even if you don’t shower, please please please please please watch this presentation.
The presenter is Dr. Cliff Click, and the topic is an in-depth view of modern code execution architecture. The talk is from 2009, and it has been on my to{do} list for almost 6 months. It is the best thing I have seen in the last year (and I played God of War III!) if not in many years. The guy is obviously very knowledgeable and he talks extremely fast, which just means that he packs an incredible amount of invaluable information into this 50+ minute talk.
I can’t stress this enough. Take an hour to watch this. Please! If you are a game developer, or any programmer with a conscience, you have to watch it right now! I’m not kidding here. Watch this through.
On an ego-boosting note, I just watched this talk and I already knew almost all of it (I have to brush up on the newer cache-coherency protocols though; those have also been on my to{do} list for some time now!) It did have some eye-opening “Aha!” moments for me. I may write about them later.
What are you doing still reading my shithead rant?! GO WATCH THIS!Cliff Click’s Crash Course in Modern Hardware (hosted locally.)
Hi there!
Hi there, my name is Eduardo and I am a journalist for a newspaper in Brazil called O Estado de S. Paulo. You can reach us at http://www.estadao.com.br
I found a few weeks ago about Garshasp and thought that you guys could fit perfectly into our tech/digital life section.
So I’d like to ask a few questions by email about how Garshasp was developed, how you got together and started the project and what it was like to develop a game in Iran.
I’d really appreciate your answer. Me and my editor find the story it’s really interesting.
And congratulations for Garshasp! The videos and teasers I saw made me very curious about it.
Thank you very much!
Obrigado!
Eduardo Roberto
Thanks for sharing such a gem.
