<abstract>
Eric LaForest introduces modern Stack Computing, FORTH (a stack based language). Stack systems have faster procedure calls, reduce
complexity (shorter pipeline, simpler compilation), and consistent performance (very important for realtime systems). Additionally, the price to performance ratio is often much more attractive on stack based architectures. But enough rambling from me, watch the video and download the slides to learn more.
Eric LaForest delivers a crash-course on modern stack computing, the Forth programming language, and some projects of his own. Stack
systems have faster procedure calls and reduced complexity (shorter pipeline, simpler compilation) relative to their conventional counterparts, as
well as more consistent performance, which is very important for real-time systems. Many consider stack-based architecture's crowning feature,
however, to be the unrivalled price-to-performance ratio.

Note: the slides are hard to make out in the video, so make sure to download the slides as well.
