this is kind of replacing my old mineception thing that is still moving at an amazingly slow pace. so me and a friend are building a 2 hz CPU in our spare time currently i need someone who can design a good gpu that can plot lines and draw my current gpu will just be ASCII and a # based one too just for displaying letters and numbers
Specs:
clock- 2Hz (5 ticks)
RAM: 256Bytes originally (our bytes are kind of odd though as they are 24 bits per byte)
GPU: current is ASCII at 2 Hz
Registers: probably along the lines of 32 Bytes
opcodes:4 bit mostly mathmatical things
ROM: probably 1-4KB with an os and built in calculator program
things that are finished:
mux
RAM design
ASCII screen design
all of the stuff above this is OLD and no longer applies to the project
NEW STUFF YAYS!:
THIS RUNS OFF OF A MOD THAT ALLOWS FOR INSTANT REPEATERS AND NOT GATES MEANING 0 TICK CIRCUITS!!!!!!!!
it will run with a STEPPING PROCESSOR :D (meaning it can change its frequency depending on load (kinda like that one in the intel commercial except that all processors do this intel was just brainwashing people to make them think it was new))
the steps will be set to: 2 Hz 5 Hz 10 Hz and an experimental 20 Hz
full 12 bit ALU with 13th carry bit
probably 6 bit commands (opcodes) (maybe 8 if im feeling frisky)
will have 4 KB main RAM and 2-4 KB graphics RAM
IPC will be arround lets say 3? probably less actually but im shooting for that (load next addresses as it processes current ones and be able to send graphics data all in one clock)
dedicated GPU (fixed clock at 10 or 20 Hz) with a 128x64 sprite supporting screen
THIS WILL RUN DOOM EVENTUALLY
other random things:
although i will probably provide a download you will most likely not be able to use it unless your computer meets the specs below:
8GB 1600Mhz RAM
FX 6100 hex core processor
HD Radeon 6790 1GB graphics
(other specs are pretty much irrelevant although i recommend a gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud series board)
ESTIMATED TIME OF FINISHING: january 2013 i say this so that if i make it on my actual date i can say i got it done early but more than likely i will actually go past january in this thing (its big)
IF YOU WANT MORE INFO OR WOULD LIKE TO POSSIBLY HELP DROP ME A COMMENT OR PM IDEAS FOR THINGS IT SHOULD DO SHOULD GO IN COMMENTS DUMB SUGGESTIONS WILL BE EITHER TROLLED OR IGNORED :D
have 16 cores
run BASIC
allow for games with actual sprites to be played
save files to a type of tape

Additional Notes
eventually this machine will:have 16 cores
run BASIC
allow for games with actual sprites to be played
save files to a type of tape
