Tensilica Floating Point: Small, Similar Cycles and Lower Power-October 6, 2016 |
When I first started programming, the first programming language I learned was Fortran IV. In that era, learning to program at that age was rare, since the only computers that existed were mainframes. This was before the minicomputer, let alone the various "personal computers." I was 14 years old. Fortran was one of the few programming languages that existed (before C or Pascal, for example) so that was what introductory programming courses tended to use. This was also the era of the punched card, interactive terminals did not yet exist, let alone graphic displays.
