So ya... I use Logisim and CircuitSimulator quite often, they're crude, but usually get the job done.
But not this time...
Anyone know of something which can handle great complexity?
I want to make a microprocessor but these things croak after ~35 transistors/gates, so I can only sketch up small components, I can't see if they actually work together on a larger scale.
The design I have is mind is pretty... strange. It's a little bit MIPS-like, but I'm just saying that because that's the closest thing that comes to mind.
One thing I like is the fact that memory is allocated in blocks with a PID assigned.
It eats RAM like a pig, but it's fast and secure, everything is managed with a "hardware scheduler" and "loop checker".
Too lazy to describe but basically the scheduler is what queues work and minimizes wait-states while the looper is what executes software... chopped up ALU?
Pic related, a crude, tiny piece of a whole I have in mind. 5 transistors per bit stackable XNOR(actually 4-transistor XOR with a P-type and resistor stuck on the back)... couldn't find the design on the interwebs, maybe I invented something...
