I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how Cisc 223 is? Iβm under the impression itβs the second hardest second year course after 221 but I canβt really find any takes on computing courses besides ratemyprof. Any opinions or suggestions on the class would be greatly appreciated :)
Looking for a tutor for CISC 101. Please message me if you can help.
Since only 4 fourth year SOFT_Design courses are offered this year, I'm trying to choose one that will be less time commitment and preferably good for my GPA.
Neural (452) is offered in the fall, so I'm inclined to get it over with unless it's way too hard.
Graphics (454) and Compilers (458) are winter term, I can't decide which of them would be easier.
I guess I'm asking, is Neural way harder than the other 2, and if so, which of the 2 are better to take?
If you had, for example, an ARM or RISC-V core and an x86 core that are on the same process node and capable of a similar computation power however you choose to measure that, would you expect the RISC core to be physically smaller than the CISC core?
Just out of curiosity, is it possible for a computer to support both RISC and CISC? Though I'm not sure what the advantages would be lol.
But why I am asking this is, let's say you have some sort of distributed system where there is a critical section. You would need to use locks, which is relatively expensive in terms of speed.
Now, what if, you can have 1 CISC command that can do the critical section computation, and make the command atomic. Even though CISC commands are slower than RISC (in terms of doing the same work), but having it run atomically (somehow) would mean we do not need a lock.
Would this even be a correct statement, or this is not how any of it works?
Is CISC 181 (digital societies) easy for a non-computer science student?
Hello! I'm an incoming first year computing student. I don't have any experience regarding programming and after research I found out that I should take CISC 101 as it is for people with no programming experience. If I take CISC 101, I will have to take CISC 121 in the winter of first year and CISC 124 in the fall of second year(both of these courses are required in all of the plans). My question is that would it be difficult to manage CISC 124 in second year with all of my other second year courses? If I try to gain some knowledge during this summer and skip CISC 101 for 121, I can be done with both CISC 121 and 124 in the first year. I personally want to start from the basics by taking 101 but I was just confused whether it would be difficult for me to manage CISC 124 in second year along with all of my other second year courses. Any advice would be appreciated!
itβs an asynchronous class and i was hoping if i found someone from that class
Taking CISC 101 as commerce elective. I have never done any programming but still looking for some challenge, is this course too easy or is it a good pace for someone getting started with computer science?
for anyone else trying to add this course to your fall semester does it tell you you have to add a lab but not show any times to add labs?
Which one do you guys think is the easiest course out of these? Thank you!
CISC 422/3.0; CISC 462/3.0; CISC 465/3.0; CISC 466/3.0; CISC 467/3.0
And immediately turns tail to go back to the Great Link
Seriously, how is Odo not a mascot for fascist fans that donβt care for civil liberties.
Does anyone have thoughts on the Data Analytics Certificate? Is CISC 251 manageable if you do not have coding experience?
Can you give me your experiences/advices/suggestions on these courses
CISC 235: Data Structures
CISC223: Software Specifications
CISC221: Computer Architecture
Cisc 221 is both sems this upcoming year. First sem is with Peter Chen from U Newfoundland who has great rate my prof reviews, second sem is with Sidney givigi. If I took it first sem Iβd be doing Cisc 220 at the same time as 221, when Iβve heard 220 really helps 221 if youβve already done it. Any advice?
For those who have taken both, how well did 220 prepare you for 221?
For those who only took 221, how challenging was it?
220 is not required for my degree plan but it is a recommended prerequisite for the compulsory 221. Thank you in advance for your help.
Hey guys, thoughts on this course? Is it interesting? What's the evaluation? Can't find anything about it online. Thanks
Has anyone taken CISC 320, and if so, would you recommend it? Based on the description, it seems very practical but it doesn't seem like many people are taking it, is the workload very heavy?
Im troubleshooting a slow internet issue: 1 gig circuit. One engineer that ran a test said that what he is seeing is the ASA is dropping packets as traffic increases. What would cause this? Bad ASA, Cable, confg. thanks for your insight. no major changes to config. Been in place for years.
Does anybody know anything about this course? How tough is it? What's the instructor like?
Obviously this is RL, it will have math by the tons and in my experience courses like these are very difficult if you don't know anything about Math. It also gets a lot harder if the instructor is unorthodox.
So any opinions about it? Thanks in advance.
Hello, does anyone here have experience taking the Project and Internship course for the CS major? I'm interested in taking this course because I don't have a lot of internship experience and was planning to buff my resume. But yeah I was just wondering if anyone on this sub has any info, Thank you!!!
Is anyone else having trouble with this class? The short videos posted by the instructor are not helpful at all and I do all the required textbook readings but I am still super confused about the content. And the quiz and assignment question just doesn't make any sense to me.
Any tips on how to study for this course will be appreciated!
So as far as i know RISC follows a pipeline so if you were doing say 1*2 = 3 Youβd first store 1 and 3 in ram Load 1 and 3 to the register Mult(r1, r2) Then store the answer in the register
Now for CISC how does is it different? Iβve looked quite a bit only but i canβt seem to find examples for logical operations. I know the instruction can be longer but do you still use load and store operations? Also how long can you make the instruction?
Iβm making a small game on basic arithmetic RISC and CISC instructions. The user has to type pseudo code.
(Yes I do know that the lines between RISC and CISC in recent years but Iβm looking for a basic understanding for my game)
There's starting to be a transition in the laptop space to the RISC Arm architecture from the CISC x86, and new architectures like RISC-V are projected to be even more energy efficient once it matures, but why is this? Wouldn't having more dedicated instructions be more efficient since you don't have to sequentially feed multiple instructions to the processor, and the processor can just handle all the complex multi-step processing in the background?
The first are able to do so much more using way less energy, to the point the iPad Pro and the MacBook Air need no fan. Even servers are starting to become ARM.
