The Tera/Cray MTA executing DGEMV, compared to Brand X super computer MTA-DGEMV.pdf. Which machine uses a CPU-side data cache?

An Inefficient Program, shown as an example of something that could be optimized CSE401-Inefficient-Program.pdf.

A computation (expression) tree and a bunch of instruction patterns for use with the example of Buttom Up Rewrite System (BURS), instruction selection and dynamic programming codegentrees.pdf.

When I finished my Master's and PhD some years ago, I wrote up a bunch of questions about what I wanted in a job in the tech industry. These musings have been passed around before at UW CSE, so here they are again. I'm happy to provide advice, (ir)relevant as it maybe!
