2. What are the differences between multithreading and VLIW
Parallelism exploitation, form the point of view of a compiler (i.e.,
what would a compiler have to do for a VLIW machine, and what for a
multithreaded one; assume the machines cannot do both).
the answer to this is "why the hell are you talking about vliw in tyoal 2012"

Code Hero: A Game That Teaches You To Make Games

oh hey that does sound pretty cool actually i wonder how the project's getting on

To anyone keeping an eye on this space - a modest number of Code Hero backers have reached out to me, sharing information and requesting to be kept "in the loop" with any of our collective findings. You should know, right off the bat, that based on what we've found (and been told) - Alex Peake seems to have run out of money after spending it recklessly, and doesn't plan on continuing with this project. There are well over 1000 backers out there who pledged for physical rewards. And, tragically, 6 backers who pledged at the $1k level who thought their money would be well spent on an educational tool for schools.
As I've said before - I'm sort of desperate to be proven wrong about all of this. An update on the status and future of Code Hero would be more than welcome. But, should that update never come, all backers should feel free to email me at:
codeheroclassaction@gmail.com
Please provide only whatever details or information you are comfortable sharing. This may include your pledge level, pledge amount, if you have attempted to contact Alex or Primer Labs, if you've requested a refund, etc.
Please note that this is an early attempt at organizing backers of Code Hero into a group where we can better communicate. No legal papers have been filed at this time.

it sucks seeing lots of other game projects fail on Kickstarter and knowing that this one raised $170k, most of it being in the last 48 hours

create kickstarter with semi-reasonable deadline and funding target

wait until deadline is almost met, make sure project is over 5% funded

fund rest of project yourself

kickstarter takes their 5%

profit?

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

if you want a textbook, both Patterson and Hennessy books are good

the first one is the undergrad book, the second one is the grad book (although the grad book isn't really any more complicated or anything, it just selectively picks topics and goes into more detail rather than generally covering everything)

No matter how long it takes, I'll keep supporting the game and I'm very eager to see the final product. In case you need additional music, I could give it a shot if you'd like me to; I've done music for about nine years now and I've been involved in a number of projects; A couple of flash games, indie short films, and currently a puppet show. I certainly don't consider myself a professional but I like to compose something every month of the year. If you're interested, I could show you some of my work privately and then you're welcome to judge if you'd need me to work for you. You don't have to worry about costs; I consider this a hobby and I'm glad to help out even for free if need be.

lol i literally had to do a multiprocessing vs. VLIW question in an exam a couple of days ago. it was in the context of vector processing, SIMD extensions and GPUs though so i guess it's okay.

They took a bunch of orders, never delivered any merchandise, and then promptly shut down the website.

Their Facebook TimeLine is pretty hilarious. The dude just spams non-stop about how his Code Hero Kickstarter needs support. He even has the balls to say "I will resume making Tactical Corsets once Code Hero launches."
