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

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
CreditTHE_SPECINATOR for help and design
Progress10% complete

I'm pretty sure MC Computers can only have clock speeds up to 10Hz which is 1 tick. You can't have 20 HZ

Obviously I am part of the conversation... hence the comment and subsequent responses. Now, to answer your question "Are you stupid?"... No, no I am not. I am, however, amused by your thoughtful approach to discourse. Your flagrant disregard for not only what you say, but how you say it is just wonderful. Let's look at a direct quote from you. ."10Hz which is 1 tick". This statement is false. The minecraft server runs at 20 ticks per second. Had you made the comment that a redstone tick is equal to 2 game ticks, your comment would have been valid... except for the fact that backspace had mentioned that this utilizes a "MOD THAT ALLOWS FOR INSTANT REPEATERS AND NOT GATES MEANING 0 TICK CIRCUITS". You can easily see where I'm going with this. Folks need to know what they're talking about before they open their mouths... or in this case... take time out of their day to type.

1 tick = 50ms * 20 = 1000ms = 1s so on a 1 tick clock you get ~20 cylcles per second = 20Hz. There are 20 ticks in a second basically. Also this was with the instant redstone mod.

it cant get 20 cycles per second if a 1 tick is 1/10th of a second, so still 10 Hz. Ask all redstoners, they all know 1 tick is 1/10 of a second.
