 Berkeley的电子与计算机工程系牛不牛？答案与否关键还是看你自己牛不牛：-）。反正我觉得比较牛。当然，一个学校或系牛不牛，与从其中出来的学生牛不牛没有直接的关系。但是从统计的角度，牛校，或者牛系，或者更重要的，牛实验室出来的学生，牛的概率大一些。非要说江西大学计算机系也不一定比Berkely EECS差，那就是抬杠了：-）。估计也就马云同学会相信。
Berkeley EECS每年都会把其教授们这一年的研究项目公布出来，从而大家可以知道他们在做些什么东西。其网站为：Berkeley EECS Research Summary。而且每年还出版免费的书，供大家参阅。
这是2009年EECS的2009 Research Summary。 我们来略微浏览一下。例如，看看是否有什么道计算机的研究，或者IPV9的研究与否。美国教授其实抄袭的也不少。当然方舟子对洋人抄袭似乎不敢兴趣，或者说，不敢有兴趣。

go bears!
学霸与否可以讨论，Patterson确实很会起Catchy的名字，RISC，NOW，这又搞出个RAMP，朗朗上口。
曾和Patterson合过影，一个大光头，总是笑嘻嘻的
我有时想，为什么ACM不给他一个Turing奖？他应该得一个，大家该多高兴呀。别成天就是Programming Language的。。。
我看了一下Parallel Laboratory (ParLab)的工作。我个人确实认为学术界要在这方面下工夫。非常头疼的事情。并行编程已经要离开风花雪月的科学计算等领域，要进入工业控制系统。这里面的问题大了去了。。。
“This is one of the biggest problems telecom companies face today,” said Alex Bachmutsky, a system architect and author of an upcoming book on telecom design. “Their apps were not written for multiple cores and threads, and the apps are huge; they have millions and tens of millions of lines of code.”
这里面缺了 bwrc的研究方向吧。
JanR和Niko做的晶体管方向好像漏了哈
go bears!
