Hello.
A Project about a Vector Machine using Parallax Propeller cuaght my Attention. Please see the page here:
http://www.objectivej.com/hardware/propcluster/index.html Is it possible to do this using digispark? I see that it uses Attiny85 8 bit. There are 32 GP Registers. For the docus:
The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical ALU operation, two operands are output from the Register File, the operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle. Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for Data Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers can also be used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash Program memory. These added function registers are the 16-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register, described later in this section. The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a register. Single register operations can also be executed in the ALU.
My idea is to build a parallel machine and perform massively parallel data Manipulation as they appear in cliamtology. I am a Student thereof, and would like to build a simple vector machine using simple Hardware to assist my learning.
My question to the Forum:
1. since my knowledge of EE or CS is Basic, what are the things i should Keep in mind?
2. each parallax core is 8 parallel processors, however, using a larger number of Digispark and bitslice Technology might achive high-precision parallelism or?
3. If you are interested and would like to help, let me know - i am thinkign of collaboration as well - i wont be able to pull it all off alone.
