Best CPU in MC ever

[embizone]

Forgive me for the semi-accurate clickbait title, but I've managed to make a 3 tick data loop. It uses a heavily modified version of decapo's (?) 3 tick adder. I will be adapting this ALU into my Epoch architecture which was originally planned to run on a 4 tick clock. These upgrades grant me a 25% performance increase. The ALU is capable of addition, subtraction, OR, AND, XOR, shift left, and shift right, all in 3 ticks. I've decided to finally make a post for it because of my seemingly concrete construction path moving forward with this project. If you want to see my progress, and the instruction set that I've designed for it, /warp epoch. If you have any questions, please post a comment. Software is looking ever more feasible in Minecraft...

Currently planned specs:
3.3Hz clock (3 ticks)
16 bytes direct mapped cache
256 bytes of RAM (expandable with bank switching)
512 bytes of PROM (expandable with bank switching)

P.S. If you're not too busy, I'm always looking for an extra hand on the build. Just msg me in game

Your data loop may be 3 ticks but how can the overall clock speed be that fast, what about busing from RAM and instruction decoders or is it pipelined?

[Chibill]

Half-life. It's just like with Iizr it takes more then one cycle to do things...

[embizone]

It is pipelined, yes. Likely 5-6 stages but it could be less. Depends how much I can do in how little time...

What would be even more incredible is if you ever got around to finishing it.

Shift left is pointless, adding a number to itself does the same thing.

I'm aware :p It's an accumulator arch so you can't do that so simply. Also it needs to update flags differently from addition.

It's gonna happen with this one! I swear

Well ill be back at college in a few days, ill be more than willing to help work on a project like this as soon as I get back in the game.

Nice! I can't wait to see how well this things handles loops and such
