Oh that sounds cool. I guess that would make it a ZISC? What kind of applications did you have in mind for it?

- _0ffh 3y agoI think it's not quite NISC. There's no microcode alright, but there is a predefined instruction set that is decoded into the appropriate control signals. OTOH instruction scheduling and hazard control is indeed handled by the compiler back-end, which makes it quite complex. The compiler may take up to a few seconds to find a compact and valid instruction sequence for a given program, but it works well enough. I'm currently working on a browser-based graphical programming environment. The intended application is audio signal processing and generation. Might be anything from guitar effects to sound synthesis from a MIDI source, depending on the available hardware ressources (ADC and MIDI-UART, respectively).
