Depends very much on gates. They would have to be idealized, with constant non-zero input-to-output propagation time. Best approach is then to simulate them, perhaps in Lisp.
- gradschool 6y agoI'm guessing that's because you envision using some of those gates to fake a clock. Wouldn't you also have to make some assumptions about wire propagation delays to guarantee hazard-free operation?
- jmiskovic 6y agoAny wire propagation would work, zero or positive, as long as it is deterministic (it can all be compensated by extra NAND/NOR gates). And with negative propagation delays you could do wonders! Anyway, my comment was a quick jab to circle back to Lisp after parent dismissed its elegant core.
- ncmncm 6y agoAre you aware that CDC did, in fact, make mainframe computers out of physical NOR gates? One gate per PC board.
