Soul of New Machine published in 1981 probably was much closer to being regarded as cutting edge TCS at the time given how relatively new microprocessors were. today, CPU design, less so, much more prosaic/"applied". therefore, theres a "moving the goalposts over time/complexity inflation" aspect to TCS which that ref reveals somewhat. | |
