Old School Coding, Part 4: Fifo
0Join me as I use techniques from the 1980s and 1990s, a computer language standardized in 1999, and perhaps some more modern tools, to develop a discrete event simulation of an 8080-based computer system.
The rule was "Design from the top down, implement from the bottom up" -- and I have a basic design in mind, so we can swing right in with implementing starting from the lowest level primitives and working upward.
In the previous session, I used the now practiced process to build a "schedule" that runs steps in the proper order, based on when they want to run. I realized after the end of the stream that I missed an arguably simpler structure, a plain old FIFO, so we can start there in this session
