I wish colleges taught everything mentioned in this ~100-page paper for their computer architecture course.
The paper talks so much about cache, OS, threads, memory controller, and how the CPU juggles in between.

This “stunning” proof by MIT computer scientist, is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer science.
Space complexity vs Time complexity.
New idea proves, that any algorithm that runs in T steps can be re-engineered to use about √T memory cells, establi... See more
