RISC + RAID

an inspirational interview with co-creator of processor and storage architectures used in most of computers today.

#104 - David Patterson: Computer Architecture and Data Storage | MIT | Artificial Intelligence Podcast

"David Patterson is a Turing award winner and professor of computer science at Berkeley. He is known for pioneering contributions to RISC processor architecture used by 99% of new chips today and for co-creating RAID storage. The impact that these two lines of research and development have had on our world is immeasurable. He is also one of the great educators of computer science in the world. His book with John Hennessy “Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach” is how I first learned about and was humbled by the inner workings of machines at the lowest level."
