Application for build server

What do you like the most about redstone?: It allows cool uses full to be built in survival as-well as a MASSIVE tool to study computer science
What's a thing you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge?: Currently designing a dual core to single core 8-4 bit computer with smart instructions read from RAM not ROM which are read from a mass storage device (similar to a Hard disk with a pistion)
What does it do?: it alows me to learn more about multicore to signlecore ALU wich is a concept im researching for my future goal of a quadcore 16bit ALU that can switch to a single 64bit alu to complete lager calculations and functions. such as on board CPU graphical processing with full RBG colour using command blocks (if allowed).
Do you agree with the rules?: Of course.

Seems like ur heading in the right direction with this. But Dual/Single ALU isn't really called that.
a standard (standard for ORE) CPU on here has just 1 ALU.
a "dual ALU" CPU is actually referenced as a "SuperScalar" which means that the CPU just has more then one Functional Unit (an ALU is a type of FU). This kinda work hasn't really been pushe'd for in MC too much yet. As to be a super scalar u have to have at least a basic pipeline (and only a handful of people can make those that I know of, I want more ppl to try tho ). As well as you would need large enough programs, well enough made, to take advantage of the superscalar.
this doesn't mean you shouldn't go for it, by all means I hope you do and I hope you succeed
Just wanted to help clarify some terms and let you know that it hasn't been done before


Also, we need a picture or video in the app to accept, can u add one?

3bit RGB command block based 16 pixel display

Could you provide an image/video of something you made which shows more computational redstone? e.g. an adder, alu, or a multipler, or anything inbetween. Showing a cmd block screen won't help much as we don't use command blocks on this server.

If you are unsure of how to make anything similar to what I described above, you can always apply for the school server as an alternative (http://forum.openredstone.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=44)

how's that? its just a basic ALU for simple computation with software

[LordDecapo]

What functions does it have?

[Smaster7772]

What functions does it have

Zero A, Zero B, Invert A, Invert B, And, Or, Xor

would a full computer with a RCA (not built for speed)be acceptable?

[Magic :^)]

A little on Ripple Carry Adders:
RCA by itself or an RCA ALU by itself is not acceptable. An RCA in something more complex such as a CPU or a 'computer' would be acceptable however. It's borderline though, as in general an RCA won't pass a trial unless it's at least a dataloop.

I'll accept you, but keep in mind what's required for the trial!
