What, you don't have a special command to Compare Unsigned values in register C vs result register K? or Floating-point Addition with Parenthesis, so store the value for use on the next cycle?

I still don't know why this architecture went for a Double XOR as the NOP, I guess they were just flexing that the reference chip design could do both in a single cycle

Its been in RISC V for decades.

I wouldn't really characterize fourteen years as "decades."

IT years are similar to dog years, an IT year is multiple normal human years, so 14 IT years is certainly IT decades.

THAT'S how I'm supposed to get ten years of experience in a five year old technology

Just lie. What are they going to do? They don't know enought to realize they made an impossible request, they won't be able to tell the difference between 10 and 5 years experience.

Just don't work there, seems like a company run by idiots

[–] AdamEatsAss 1 points 2 weeks ago

STEP 1: find company run by idiots

STEP 2: get them to give me a remote job

STEP 3: barely work at all

STEP 4: get second remote job and collect 2 paychecks

"Algernon"? The monkey in your PFP? The nerdy kid in Canis Canem Edit a.k.a. Bully?

I'm pretty sure fused add multiply with store is part of the AVX instruction set.

I'm so cooked I genuinely thought that's what it was at first, until I noticed all the words were slang/recent colloquialisms

I thought it was another one of those meme languages at first.

Edit, Lemmy formatting killed it, here's what it was supposed to be.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Use code formatting, perhaps?

The trick is to try and think what could those words correspond to in assembly

My beowulf cluster can run at terafaps/s levels under ideal conditions.
