Threads, locks and eieio

Ridiculous Fish expounds on memory concurrency across multiple processor cores.

Points I take away from this:

  • Fish’s articles are adhering to the John Siracusa logarithmic curve of incremental insightfulness and length. By about the same ratio as John Siracusa’s Mac OS X reviews, they are getting longer and better. (The 10.8 review will almost certainly rival the length of a New York phone book.)

  • The PowerPC has an eieio assembly language instruction. I don’t have anything to add to that. It’s perfect already.

  • If he calls himself Fish, can we refer to his articles as ‘cod pieces’?
