Comment on Efficient Computer's Electron E1 CPU – 100x more efficient than Arm?parent

Comments

The Mill videos are worth watching again - there are variations on NaT handling and looping and branching etc that make DSPs much more general-purpose.

I don’t know how similar this Electron is, but the Mill explained how it could be done.

I love these videos and his enthusiasm for the problem space. Unfortunately, it seems to me that the progress/ideas have floundered because of concerns around monetizing intellectual property, which is a shame. If he had gone down a more RISC-V like route, I wonder if we would see more real-world prototypes and actual use cases. This type of thing seems great for microprocessor workloads.
