    Yes.

    I see graphics cards frequently use multiple memory busses so I guess this should lend itself well to super Harvard architecture, like the proposed 4stack processor.

    BTW did you know that one Amiga design involved a DSP as a blitter? I saw the designs and it looked very, very nice. You might have been able to run a modem from the graphics subsystem, what a hack!

  5. Free (free speech) Interpreter by Newtonian_p · · Score: 1 · on Forth Application Techniques

    There is a GPL'd Forth interpreter out there: GForth

    It is the Forth implementation of the GNU project and is available for many platforms including Linux, Windows and OS/2.

    Man, yes I can tell. So why you feel compelled to write this stuff and then get modded up to 4 is beyond me.

    First of all you have the classic Umm, first of all it's hard enough to engineer a 64-bit CPU with related components. Face it, the 4Stack was made by one grad student.

    Then you have the audacity to continue with the equally intellectual Then there is the manufactoring details, etc, etc. Guess what, manufacturing does not care about bitwidth. They care about layers, metallisation and more. Only inasfar as bitwidth requiring more interconnection which usually requires more metal layers does this have any impact.

    Then finishing off with a perceived lack of economic benefit you truly complete the works of the terminally uninformed.

    Yes, for GP CPU 32 and 64 bits are ok, for graphics, DSP and number crunching 128 bits can be required. And guess what, Cray has made 128 bit computers. I have rarely had the displeasure of reading such a pile of uninformed garbage. Even 5 minutes on Google would have shown it clearly even to someone who has not been involved in both design AND fabriction AND register level programming for 14 years.

    Oh yes, as for the difficulties of programming 64 bit processors, have you heard of Linux? You have even failed to notice Linux has been ported to Itanium, SPARC and Hammer. Well done.

    If we don't take the learning curve into account, you might en up with Color Forth
    (or any other Forth derivate, such as BigForth - for Linux and Windows - which include a breathtaking GUI RAD : Minos)...

    Here's a small ColorForth program: This consists of an IDE disk driver.

  8. High Performance Scripting by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Perl vs. Python: A Culture Comparison
    Learn Forth. You can have your cake and eat it too! Forth code can be run as scripts, but executes nearly as fast as C code. It is highly extensible and allows object oriented programming.
