  1. What is Processor?

  2. I am @samphippen on all the internets

  3. I do not work for Test Double

  4. But I love them and also @searls

  5. “How would Sam write this code?”

  6. “How would Sam write this code?”

  7. None

  8. This talk is full of convenient lies

  9. None
  10. None
  11. None
  12. None

  13. 3.days.ago

  14. new DateTime( System.currentTime() - 3 * 24 * 3600 )

  15. Thinking in terms of the domain

  16. Instead of thinking in terms of the computer

  17. This is one way we can measure abstraction

  18. Amount of computers

  19. None

  20. Amount of computers

  21. SQL Amount of computers

  42. (it’s a gnu)

  43. (it’s a gnu)

  44. None

  45. Source code separate at execution time

  46. So why is C “low level”

  47. None

  48. C code does not model modern processors

  49. It models old processors

  50. Modern compilers turn old model assembly into new model assembly

  51. C is not fundamental in any sense

  52. Memory Allocation

  53. Memory access

  54. Memory Release

  55. C Amount of computers

  56. C Assembly Amount of computers

  145. This process repeats

  146. That’s how programs execute (kinda) (I’m still lying to you)

  147. Fetch: get instruction from memory into processor

  148. Decode: prep processor for instruction

  149. Execute: do computation

  150. Retire: results and cleanup

  151. Thanks @samphippen [email protected]
