128BIT MIPS-LIKE 4GHZ CPU

[NUj6URfi]

I'm trying to build one for an OS kernel I made. I need help as I have no idea where to start. I understand logic gates. I say MIPS like as the instruction set should be similar but doesn't have to be a clone. If you are interested or have advice, please reply below. Thanks!

Erm, what? You want to build a non-ancient CPU (as in, before the i4004)? And you don't have extremely expensive and specialized equipment?! Good luck.

Is there a reason why you need to develop your own CPU?

[NUj6URfi]

Yes and I would get it printed by a company. I just need help designing it. Btw, MIPS is still used.

[Avilius]

So if you have pockets deep enough hire a company to print your CPUs why don't you just pay a specialist to do it? I'm sure you would already have one.

I also never said that MIPS wasn't used.

CPU design isn't easy... actually it's quite difficult. A lot of factors come into play. For example, what enviornments do you want it to run in? How long is a typical session? How much power do you want it to consume? Are you willing to cut corners for a simpler (yet less efficient) design?

You also still haven't answered this question:

Is there a reason why you need to develop your own CPU?

[NUj6URfi]

I said yes. It's just logic gates. I know someone who built a cpu. I know it's hard. I would have money to get a few printed on a large pcb (NOT a chip ) but I don't have enough money for a specialist. I want it to run in a small case, typical session is a couple of hours. Power? 1AH. Yes, I am willing to go for simple FOR NOW.

you could optimize a better higher end (current range of cpu's)

or

personalize an existing one

FPGA and play...

[NUj6URfi]

Welp too late yall. .... I'm almost done :p thank you though.

[Cheraphy]

Care to share the schematics?

[NUj6URfi]

I was going to make it open source now (and still will make it open source), the question is when. I think I'll finish the GPU first and look into monetizing.

[Cheraphy]

No offence, but it is astronomically unlikely that you will be able to monetize this. You'd be competing with a market filled with engineers infinitely more experienced and skilled at this than you are.

[NUj6URfi]

Mhm.... found that out pretty quick.

[NUj6URfi]

I finished the GPU and will publish the schematics for the CPU later (with a license)... this CPU is meant to be integrated so it's a bit worthless without everything else but will have documentation. I'm excited to see if anyone gains knowledge or makes something cool with this.

[NUj6URfi]

After thorough testing in logisim, squishing numerous bugs and reaching r3 (improvements, r2 was the no bug version), I have ordered 3 computers utilizing my GPU and CPU. To save money, I got the 6 weeks time order. After I get these and finish testing I'll release all schematics. I want to make sure it's actually good.

[Cheraphy]

I would have released schematics (at least to a few people) for peer-review. Fresh eyes might see issues one pair would not.

[NUj6URfi]

Hmmm.... I am giving out the dev kits. Bit late to share now that I've ordered.... shouldve done that *shakes head*.

[Avilius]

Wow! So you designed a MIPS-like CPU from the ground up, hired a company to build it (over the weekend, mind you), tested your device, ported your OS to it, in a record-breaking 2 days?!

Not to mention this ground-breaking design has a built in GPU, along with a shipment of new development kits coming in!

Eh, this topic smells of troll.

[NUj6URfi]

Um wut?
I tested on a simulator and the OS kernel hasnt been ported. The dev kits come in 6 weeks. ....

[helios]

Yes, I too am confused by the time scale implied by your posts. It does sound like you're saying you designed a complete CPU+GPU in three days.

[NUj6URfi]

I designed a cpu in 1 day, and a gpu in another. I have tested them on a simulator and ordered them. That's all
