It sure looks like a fine chip for a very small niche, but they don't even have floating point instructions AFAIK, so you'd have to emulate them in software. So I'm extremely skeptical about their number crunching capabilities.
- listic 14y agoNo floating point. I believe design complexity of the chip would increase manifold if it was. Emulation is not an option too with those extremely limited resources (64 words of memory). The design philosophy of this chip is that 18 bits of integer precision should be enough for your applications, period. I just feel like I'm not smart enough to figure out how to fit a useful application into that.
