CPU Scratchbuild Competition - ddthj - 02-14-2015 Hey guys! I have wanted to see a cpu competition ever since I saw the quad-core competition on the RDF. There isn't going to be a real 'winner', just a friendly competition for global domination. The Challenge: Build a 4 bit (or larger) CPU that is capable of calculating Fibonacci and displaying it in an interesting manner. Make the CPU as small as possible while retaining the functionality to run other programs. Only a few rules: 1: The CPU must be made from scratch, no copy/pasting of previous construction 2: You have 24 hours to complete the CPU 3: If you can, timelapse your build! This would make a neat video! If a plot could be made to place all the builds, that would be great. I don't plan to start for a couple days (probably start on 12/15). If you want to be 'officially' apart of the competition just reply to this thread saying so. If/When we get a plot for the builds, I will paste the warp below People who did it: -me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sbA6jtr070&feature=youtu.be -Tuchi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfNqm0ERank RE: CPU Scratchbuild Competition - Nuuppanaani - 02-14-2015 This sounds really interesting, I might move it into announcements. Could I get more specific info on how the winning CPU's are picked?

I don't think there will be a real 'winner' but I'm sure anyone who makes animpressive cpu will have some bragging rights RE: CPU Scratchbuild Competition - Chibill - 02-14-2015 I might try but I still have not finished my first cpu. so yeah... RE: CPU Scratchbuild Competition - greatgamer34 - 02-14-2015 damn, i just started work on a new cpu... If I have time ill make one. RE: CPU Scratchbuild Competition - Nuuppanaani - 02-15-2015 Yeah dd, add a clever way to convert the starting time to my time zone?

RE: CPU Scratchbuild Competition - Magic :^) - 02-18-2015 I'll give it a shot, maybe. I've just finished my first cpu so it depends on how burnt out I still am from that 2 week marathon xD RE: CPU Scratchbuild Competition - Chibill - 05-13-2015 Anything about this? RE: CPU Scratchbuild Competition - tokumei - 05-18-2015 Define CPU. Do we have to build a full CPU and program it to do Fibonacci, or can we create a dedicated Fibonacci device? EDIT: Found the specification in the original post. EDITEDIT: I volunteer as an admin to organize this as an official event if ddt's okay with that. |
