[Comic for Wednesday, October 11, 2000]

Transcription

[[Fooker's office]]

Yoshi: You know, that assembly code will result in a race condition upon entering a page fault.
Fooker: Oh really?

Fooker: And how do you propose I cache my register values without resorting to virtual memory?
Yoshi: Puh-leaze.

Yoshi: Implement a finite state machine which will swap register contents with addresses in RAM while paging your cached data structures.
Fooker {{thinking}}: Oooh... he's good...
