6502 architecture going forward (including 1486 relevance)

Going forward, I see the 6502 scaling into designs with millions of cores, acting as a simple parallel X/Y register vector processor...
in addition to a ultra-low-latency single-core high clocked serial processor for funny mainframes running extremely linear code. (some transaction/fax/credit card ...

Re: High-end VLIW 14th-gen x86 CPU.

Update on the project, explaining how we'd get round the patent issues:

It'll likely be done in a mixture of Cadence OrCAD, Icarus Verilog and/or Synopsys software, with additional libraries either freely downloaded or bought from Mentor Graphics, GlobalFoundries, TSMC, IBM and/or these companies ...

Re: High-end VLIW 14th-gen x86 CPU.

For sure. However it's not like I have to do literally everything myself here - I definitely have genuine, quality connections in the industry and believe I can coordinate our efforts well. I am familiar with the use of logic diagrams to solve bugs like that (ie. under states x, y, z with this test ...

Re: High-end VLIW 14th-gen x86 CPU.

For most projects here, if you were to ask the dreaded "why" question, you'd get an answer like
- because I find it interesting
- because I want to learn something
and sometimes
- because I want to teach
or
- because I think I can sell a few of these

And all of those work pretty well as ...

Re: High-end VLIW 14th-gen x86 CPU.

Appreciate the responses, for sure. Happy to collaborate with peeps here if there's a mutual benefit (I know you're dreaming about a 4Ghz 64-bit 6502-compatible lol)

It's an interesting idea, so far as I can see, but I don't yet see what the general idea is: are you looking for volunteers ...

Re: High-end VLIW 14th-gen x86 CPU.

Any comment from anyone? I realise this is an extremely ambitious project (especially given my level of experience with the actual on-the-ground design and manufacture), but I've done a fair bit of budgeting and have contacted many of these test equipment companies (Complete Probe Solutions, Celadon ...

Re: High-end VLIW 14th-gen x86 CPU.

Sorry if I've taken a while to give a 'public' update. I've got a decent skeleton of a plan figured out; the biggest issues at the moment I'd say are (staff?) training, funding (!) and a lack of personal experience with VHDL/SystemVerilog code and its validation techniques.
(test vectors, building a ...

Re: High-end VLIW 14th-gen x86 CPU.

Suffice to say, I'm gonna need some help [...] For more info, check out /r/CenturionDynamics on reddit.
Scarcely any info there. And the subject line of this thread says little enough. Is it a teaser? Are you relying on people to be proactively curious?

No offense taken, and I wish you success. I ...

It says, "You must be invited to visit this community [...] The moderators of this subreddit have set it to private." It does sound interesting though.

High-end VLIW 14th-gen x86 CPU.

Suffice to say, I'm gonna need some help; perhaps even that of The Peddle or The Mensch himself. Decappers, assembly programmers, high speed high bandwidth memory controller designers and people generally skilled in CPU design will be needed.
