This is completely at odds with my experience of academia.  I was
taught stuff back in the early 90s that is so staggeringly relevant
now (when we have 8+ core CPUs) it's like they were teaching the
future.

I will accept that the industry and academic worlds don't know very
well what the other lot are doing, and that is down to academic papers
being a poor form of communication.

Rich.
