Inmos != MOS
- jacquesm 13y agoYou're absolutely right, have an upvote. I had transputers on the brain. That raspberry pi compute module has me re-visiting all kinds of old and interesting alleys. (See: http://jacquesmattheij.com/raspberry-pi-as-a-poor-mans-transputer http://jacquesmattheij.com/raspberry-pi-as-a-poor-mans-trans... ).
- dkersten 13y agoFunny you should say that - I was just re-reading this: http://www.cpushack.com/CPU/cpu7.html#Sec7Part5 http://www.cpushack.com/CPU/cpu7.html#Sec7Part5
- jacquesm 13y agoCool :) I think the transputer was built before we were really ready for it, now that we've plucked all the low hanging fruit there may be a revival of ideas like these. I wonder what the cost would be for implementing a transputer like architecture using the Rasberry Pi module. It might be a very interesting alternative to the parallela. http://www.parallella.org/ http://www.parallella.org/
