Memory Architecture and Systems is barely covered in intro series, and system specific in upper graduate courses but we are talking a select few universities and this is commercial system specific hardware. These magical PS4 optimization courses wouldn't exist cause they wouldn't have books, projects, or professors.

The only way you would learn this is through handons practice.

I understand your point, but if you lern about variable, pointers and memory management (garbage colector)  in C/C++ you have all the basis of what ND is talking , minus the thread alocation and jobs pipeline.

But as I said, I just understood what all that was about in my fourth year when I did "enfasis" classes on Software/Hardware desing and optimisation... Unfurtunally since I graduated I went to work in a differente area... but I´m planning to go back to get a master´s degree with my former professor, unfortunually it´s to good making money with a easy and well paid job, even if I don´t like the subject (data base and big data), I hope to get fired by the end of this year.

Understanding it is trivial, implementing it requries system specific knowledge.
Especially if it uses a propritary language.
