VN-Sim: A Way to Keep Core Concepts in a Crowded Computing Curriculum

Contemporary computer science curricula must accommodate a broad array of developments important to the field. Tough choices have to be made between introducing newer topics and retaining fundamentals that ground the discipline as a whole. All too frequently, understanding of low level coding and it...
