Description Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 2020-08-18 10:06:30 BST 
As an OoO system is particularly difficult to understand we need documentation on the internal architecture.  Two pages in particular:

* https://libre-soc.org/3d_gpu/architecture/6600scoreboard/
* https://libre-soc.org/3d_gpu/architecture/tomasulo_transformation/

The latter page allows people taught through the academic system to understand the equivalence of augmented 6600 to the Tomasulo Algorithm.
