COOL!!!!!!! your CPU might be used to make the first dual-core Computer in MC (where both cores are working on different stuff). AKA MCX!
RE: IizR14 - LordDecapo - 04-01-2015
lol, its possible, but it wont be made for that at the get go
i will have multiple connected via network, but the closest thing to it being dual core currently is that memory access is handled by a DMA like device, so i can have loads/stores to/from external hardware run solo of the CPU main core
that being said,, if i modified my Cache layout and a couple other things, then a dual core wouldnt be TOO hard, just be annoying

How would you change what page of ram your on.

Well my addressing will take care of that.
when you use an address to access RAM (16 pages of 8bytes,,, 128 bytes total).. It will depend on if you are using RAM to interact with the CPU or external storage. If you are using external storage interface (page based) the addressing will ignore the lower 3 bits of the 7, giving you the upper 4 bits to address the 16 pages. To which u address a page in external (external is addressed based on pages, so you never choose which byte,just the page the byte you want is in) Memory.
example:
Import 4-167 13 *3
will take Sector 4, page 167,168,169 (3 of them since it's *3). And put it in RAM pages 13, 14, 15.
I you are using RAM with the CPU then u only address the RAM by bytes.
some sections of the memory outside of that 128 are special cases, so they are a bit funky.
