Off-topic but the name reminded me:
Whatever happened to the Mill CPU architecture / Mill Computing? I've just realised I haven't heard anything about it for a while, and just looking on The Mill forum the last post was nearly two months ago.
- KerrAvon 5y agoDidn’t RISC-V put the final nail in the Mill CPU coffin? (I think Mashey put the first nail in decades ago?)
- therealcamino 5y agoRISC-V is a pretty evolutionary architecture when compared to the Mill architecture, so I would think they're attempting pretty different things. I don't know a lot about Mill other than what I've read recently, but it seems like it's just had extremely slow progress towards an implementation, which leaves the claims about it's architectural innovations not proven until there's a chip to prove them on. Do you have a pointer to Mashey's comments on Mill?
- pabs3 5y agoI've mentioned Mill recently in some threads and the responses were that it has always been vaporware. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30522481 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30522481
