The one that really blows me away is how KazeEmmanuar explained the software-controlled cache. Using it well would involve either manually making calls to load/invalidate it or writing a compiler backend that replaces loading data from memory into registers with instructions to load specific memory address ranges into cache.

The whole thing reminds me in a fuzzy way that I don't yet fully comprehend of register-memory architecture.
