RISC

Name: Anonymous 2011-09-22 9:29

/prog/, I'm working on a RISC instruction set that is more RISC than any RISC out there. I've devised an instruction format, plus fifteen core instructions that should suffice for any programming out there. The instruction format, instruction forms, and instructions can be found here:

Any comments or suggestions?

Not really. That's hardly "complicated", and multibyte instructions/multiple single-byte ones could be easily decoded in a single clock if the databus is wide enough.

Look at how the x86 decoder works. It can determine the instruction length in 1 cycle, and do it for multiple instructions at once. i7s are not "slow as fuck" either.

You're not writing software here.

If you can determine the total number of instruction bytes from the first byte then sure. This was one of the limiting factors of the VAX. Intel also spends a lot of resources hand-optimizing transistors. It's not really babby's first CPU material.
