It's super old and probably some things are made differently in newer CPUs, but it's exceptionally good to learn…

It seems to me that the techniques that were in silicon then are being brought into kernels today. Crays ran a modified BSD4.3. All we need now is someone to say Hypercube. Today's HPC is pretty…
