14 Jun '24

[Oxford CompSoc banner graphic] [6th Week] Trinity Term Week 8 Newsletter-ish Sudden Surprise Shock Pizza Night Hola, Battle-Hardened Veteran, Welcome… to… Week 8? It may be Friday, but it’s never too late for your weekly CompSoc newsletter. We have in store for you today a surprise pizza night to end off the term before some amongst us begin the arduous task of travelling away, along with a sponsor opportunity below. We’re down in the Undergraduate Social Area tonight at 7:30pm! As ever we’ll fulfil your every dietary need with ample pizza and ice cream. Come on down to hang out with friends one last time before the lights are switched off and we all go home for the year. — Declan, CompSoc Secretary Fun Computing Fact: You’ve probably heard of reduced instruction set computers and complex instruction set computers, but you may not have heard of ultimatereduced instruction set computers! Also known as one-instruction set computers, these refer to computers with instruction sets containing a single instruction. These can be Turing complete and massively simplify instruction encodings by eliminating the need for opcodes, but for the most part aren’t particularly useful. Still not a member? How?! Membership only costs £1 for LIFE, with tons of benefits - discounts on merch and tickets, free food at all socials, our exclusive Discord server and more - so it's definitely worth signing up!

CompSoc Newsletter Week 7!
by Declan Osborne 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

[Oxford CompSoc banner graphic] [6th Week] Trinity Term Week 7 Newsletter Termly General Meeting! Hello, Kindly Traveller, Welcome to Seventh Week... okay, it's a bit late in the week to say that. Apologies. As the elders amongst us hurtle towards the ever-wonderful end of exams and the freshers prepare for the turbid waters of prelims, my job is but to inform you of our final major event of Trinity Term — the Termly General Meeting! Held every term, the TGM is your chance to influence CompSoc's policies, by-laws and regulations. Any member can submit a motion for consideration — all you have to do is join our Discord server. If the tedium of bureaucracy doesn't interest you, we'll end the term as we started after with pizza and board games. Details are below. — Declan, CompSoc Secretary Fun Computing Fact: If you sat the Computer Architecture exam this week, you're probably (hopefully) familiar with Intel's x86 instruction set — it's the one used in all your desktop processors. What you probably don't know is that the architecture is so complex that even the simple mov instruction is Turing complete! With some clever usage of addressing modes and processor faults, the M/o/Vfuscator project can compile C code to binaries using only mov. You can even compile (a very slow version of) Doom! Still not a member? How?! Membership only costs £1 for LIFE, with tons of benefits - discounts on merch and tickets, free food at all socials, our exclusive Discord server and more - so it's definitely worth signing up! [Be a member]<https://ox.compsoc.net/product/lifetime-membership/> or, go to https://ox.compsoc.net/product/lifetime-membership/<https://ox.compsoc.net/product/lifetime-membership/?fbclid=IwAR1Oe_vwCudNvU…> [Events] Termly General Meeting — Trinity Term 2024 [https://3f02beb114.imgdist.com/pub/bfra/jofz1jq9/zzs/bp4/pa4/PNG%20TT24%20T…] It's almost the end of the term, and it's time for us to consider your suggestions for the future of CompSoc! Come along to our Termly General Meeting this Saturday, where all members can vote on your motions! You'll also hear from our Committee members on what they've been doing this term and what we plan to do for the future. After all that tiresome bureaucracy, we'll close out the term in true CompSoc style with pizza and board games. Make sure to come along to catch up with friends and relax for one last time before the end of the academic year! If you'd like to submit your own motions, you'll have to be a member! Motions can be submitted in our Discord server, which you can join with the following link: https://discord.com/invite/cUZFPG5WZ6. Please submit all motions by 11:59 pmon Friday 7th June. Please note that the TGM is at 7pm. Not 8pm. Don't believe the lies of the termcard. When: 7pm, Saturday 8th June Where: Undergraduate Social Area, Department of Computer Science 7 Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QG Click 'Going' here: https://www.facebook.com/share/4KYpZYAXmU4G5yRM/ [And More...] Check Out OxWoCS!
