I saw a live presentation about greenarrays by its creator and wasn't impressed. His presentation was a long list of cool assembly-level tricks he had come up with to program his own chip, it seemed like he was trying to show off his skills to the audience. The chip has a very arcane design that is impractical to use, hence why it saw very little adoption.
- gmueckl 7y agoI only saw a friend of mine hacking that stuff once. Or at least he tried to. I don't actually know if he ever got to a point where he had something interesting running. I know that I would never put up with that color forth environment, though. Even though the GreenArrays design may be quite flawed, there mihht be use cases where the array of small cores idea could be put to use. I'm also remimded a bit of the XMOS multicore microcontrollers for some reason, although they are quite different. But the core link can work even between microcontroller packages, allowing the xreation of decently sized grids. But I can't think of a good use case for a large grid of those. Thus is more about nerworkimg microcontollers on an embedded context.
