Well for me it was a matter of how much time it took. I spent enough time understanding the Central Processor with all the weird CDC-specific terms. I had to reread several times before I realized Increment instructions did load/store. Oh, and that "bootloader" was called "dead start". The peripheral processors were indeed a 10-way SMT thing, which they called a barrel processor. Each thread had three registers but they operated in really strange ways, and I just didn't figure that out. There were other details like bandwidth being tied to bank count, which I also didn't go into.
