So I am about to give a three-day course on simulation basics at St. Petersburg this August. So, what can I try to teach students in 3 days, eight hours per day?
My current idea is to start from a CPU model and move eventually to platform devices, at least …
Копался в старых архивах. Нашёл программы курсов, которые я читал школьникам в далёком 2008 году на физическом отделении Летней экологической школы. Ну или примерно в то же время — на зимнем мероприятии, именуемом Зимней экологической школой.
Чтобы уж совсем не забыть о тех волшебных временах и иногда напоминать себе, чему я …
I’ve decided on the overall structure and goals of my next year Intel-MIPT educational project. It will be about making a model of CHIP16 system. CHIP16 is a gaming platform designed after real CHIP8 of mid-1970s. No real HW exists for it yet, but software is present. So …
The next layer a system programmer encounters on top of a HW platform with CPU and a particular instruction set is firmware (BIOS, UEFI) and/or operating system. There are many OSes around; even more of them were left in the past. Moreover, it is sometimes hard to define what …
My collection of favourite books/papers/documents for different processors architectures. Some of them are more of historical interest, like those on Alpha or Z80. The rest are for relevant systems, like MIPS, ARM of IBM system z. Typically, the most up to date documentation can be found on vendors …
“Бумажные” варианты учебника и практикума по программной симуляции. Интересны больше в исторической перспективе. Обновлённые, расширенные, улучшенные и т.д. варианты будут выкладываться по мере готовности.

I’ve encountered this sort of advice at several books on design and typography. Guess this animated GIF (click to see) sums it up quite right.

An interesting paper I’ve just found, explaining existing theories on people’s perception of written text.

I recommend my students to use this bachelor/master degree thesis template to prepare their reports. The template is prepared to match standards set by our department, and it served me well in my time. It is in Russian, and some effort has been made to match it against the …
Some quotes I plan to use in my future book revisions.
