A detailed walkthrough of a quad-core computer built entirely out of Minecraft redstone, featuring cache, a hardware stack, and a GPU.

Hey guys! After over two years of development, I am finally here to show you guys the Redstone Computer v5.0, the latest installment in my series of Redstone Computers! It is improved in every way compared to the Redstone Computer v4.0, and it adds a plethora of new features as well while making existing operations more efficient! I know I say this a lot, but thank you guys so much for the insane support with all of my computer science and computer engineering projects! The growth and support has been absolutely incredible, and you guys have been incredible! :D Computer download (with information included): Main: tinyurl.com/RC50v1-2main Mirror: tinyurl.com/RC50v1-2mirror DRCHLL Compiler Project Repository (to write your own programs for this computer using the ARCISS language): bitbucket.org/AGuyWhoIsBored/duncans-redstone-computer-hll-c… Video timestamps: - Introductory Montage - Introduction - Differences and additions between this computer versus the RC4.0 - User Input Panel Breakdown - Demo Programs - Demo Program #1: Fibonacci Program - Demo Program #2: Multiplication Program - Demo Program #3: Smiley Face Program - Demo Program #4: "Random Drawing" Program - Conclusion and Thank You :D Computer specifications: - 8-bit architecture and interface - Register-based data model - Four cores (which consist of an ALU + control unit + cache + a few other things) that are truly independent from each other - Each core can run at separate speeds (variable clock speed integration) - 32 bytes (31 accessible) of dual-read ERAM - Each core has 128 lines of program memory (768 bytes per core, 3.072Kbytes of total program memory) - Runs custom instruction set - Can write, compile, upload, and execute programs on this computer that are written with the latest revisions of the ARCISS language specification with the DRCHLL Compiler Project - Enhanced suite of IO to allow for better connectivity with other peripherals - And much more! (you'll have to watch the video to find out :) ) Thank you to everyone who helped me make this possible / giving me inspiration for this project: 1. My subscribers 2.

Related: link to this video "Quad Core Computer with Redstones" features things like cache, hardware stack, a gpu connected to a 15x15 display, serial input and output port and many other interesting things. Also it's available as download by the creator.
