open-source-cs VS riscv-elf-psabi-doc

If you are going the broad CS route, do you want a degree, or do you just want the knowledge? If you want a degree, maybe start at a JC, then transfer to a UC or CSU (locally...Sac State). If you just want the knowledge, there are a number of websites out there like OSSU or Teach Yourself CS or this one on Github.

Here are pretty much all the classes you would need to take to get a computer science degree.

I'm self-studying, and stuck between taking online calculus courses or use UK textbooks to learn further maths. I'm learning maths for a career in CS, following advice online(loose guidelines from a github). Most sources say to learn calculus for CS, however I've seen that A-Level maths is calculus and further maths is less calculus? I'm just confused, there are resources for calculus online so I could do either. My other line of thinking is that if UK has maths/further maths then that must be enough for Universities here... If anyone can give any advice or just point me in the right direction that would be great!

Also check this repository out. It has some useful resources that will give you an edge over others. https://github.com/ForrestKnight/open-source-cs Don't use it right now. Start it when you have learnt a bit of HTML, CSS, Javascript. When you become familiar with these and have built some projects then you will need to up your game. At that point you will be needing this repository.

You're in luck!! https://github.com/ForrestKnight/open-source-cs

https://github.com/ForrestKnight/open-source-cs is getting on a bit, but a lot of great info.

Although, I am a current comp-sci student, I'm self-learning how to program and self-preparing myself to be job ready. Although, it has definitely been proven possible to achieve this without a computer science education, if anyone who wants to join the group is interested in that, following this free program🎓 while learning to code, would be pretty much the same curriculum that I'm taking at university.

Sure. It's the section here https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/ma...

It's that structs of two simple fields need to be passed in registers. And more specifically that this rule is relevant for mixed integer and floating point fields.

It's a very specific rule that requires a ton of code to implement compared to the integer calling convention. And again like the weird AMD64 convention likely invented to squeeze out a theoretical few cycles that never occur outside microbenchmarks

This one has more info on the ELF output, notably things like how things like relocations and special symbols like %pcrel_hi work: https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-elf.adoc

This is a bit dense but that's what I referred to https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-cc.adoc. I'm not sure if there's a RISC-V specific assembly tutorial that talks about calling conventions.

The stack is defined by the ABI and it’s a purely software convention. It’s possible a program could use a different convention. FYI, the EBI is defined here: https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc

It looks like people are starting to think somewhat along that direction in https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc etc. but most CPUs that I can think of have basically a monolithic ISA with pretty much an expanding set of instructions as the versions increment and encoded in the -march argument to the linker.
