I designed a product once using a Parallax Propeller. I loved it because it had 8 CPU cores that had rotating access to shared memory and no interrupts. If I remember correctly I did implement a ring buffer to handle communication between cores. I think the Propeller 2 is close to being released now that I think about it.
- etaioinshrdlu 8y agoTotally. Now that is a nice architecture. It looks like it may have trouble attracting wide industry adoption as it is a little idiosyncratic with Spin and custom languages for everything...
- learc83 8y agoYeah Spin is a definite barrier. Right when I was wrapping up my design, Parallax was just starting to encourage people to use the C compiler in production. I would guess the Prop 2 will be similar. It's still different enough to scare a lot of people off, but I'll give it a shot. I went poking around the forums and it looks like they just shipped out the first 100 evaluation boards in December.
