ISA Size Comparison

Just to do a quick and dirty comparison of several popular ISAs, I compiled a simple C application that calculates primes using the Sieve of Eratosthenes using the following command: gcc -O2 -c -o prime.o prime.c Then, I compared the output binaries just on memory size using the ELF size Read more…

Free ISA

While work has been under way on our new processor core, which shall remain multi-threaded using interleaved multi-threading in hardware, we have been searching for a free ISA to use as the base instruction set. Our previous microprocessor was based on the Microblaze instruction set (ISA). While there is nothing Read more…

Finishing Inkscape Extensions
