A short tour of the Megaprocessor, a giant microprocessor built entirely from tens of thousands of discrete transistors.
I've finished building and testing the Megaprocessor. Here is a short tour showing what it's made of. (There was an error in the audio settings for the first version of this video which is fixed for this.) Update Winter 2016: If you want to see the machine in the flesh its now at the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge, computinghistory.org.uk/ . You can try your hand at Tetris and (once we've sorted things out) bring your own programs to run on it.What people say. Recommended as an amazing demonstration of a CPU built at a scale where you can see every transistor working.
