This is a lot of PDFs. Is there a basic summary of what hardware/software is involved available in HTML form?
Sorry if I don't really understand what this is, but it seems like there's a production-ready hardware and software description (written in 2013?) that is applicable today in 2020?
Edit:
Is this meant for academic study? And if so, is a basic newbie description available?
- alexisread 6y agoThe documents outline how to build a computer, from designing the hardware in an FPGA, to the entire software layer including UI, bootstrapping itself etc. One person can understand the whole thing. What's more, this is all done with a compiled language using GC at runtime, and with a low memory overhead ie. Oberon can be used as a systems language. There are several projects moving on from this software-wise, A2: https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/bitstream/handle/20.500.11850/147091/eth-26082-02.pdf https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/bitstream/handle/20.... Also, following on from A2, Composita introduces a component architecture to allow managed memory without GC, and contextless switches (IMHO better than Rust) http://concurrency.ch/Content/publications/Blaeser_Component_Operating_System_PLOS_2007.pdf http://concurrency.ch/Content/publications/Blaeser_Component...
