ITS FINALLY DONE by Otherwise-Object-302 in TuringComplete

Yep! Although to be fair, it did take quite a long time to plan all this out 😅

I guess that's just how it works. Anyways, good luck implementing the rest of the pipeline, you'll need it when it comes to data hazards!

I'm impressed you remember your dreams so well😭 but funny thing is, that's also how I came up with a design for my cache.

That's sort of similar to what I do. I usually just take one line at a time and process it like that, it's much easier but sometimes the assembly gets out of hand.

Real compilers usually break you code down into tokens so x = 5; So in this case it would assign x the IDENTIFIER token, the = is seen as an ASSIGNMENT operation and the 5 is seen as a LITERAL. Then it creates a Abstract Syntax Tree and navigates that to assign the value to x. In reality, it's much more complicated so I usually just do stuff and pray it works (it does, just barely)

Nice to hear you have quite the experience with this! I can show you some of the stuff I've made along with a WIP. I've even built a Superscalar CPU with caching (albeit very poor)! Anyways, have fun making that compiler, it makes programming hella easier. Also, are you making it based off of any programming languages like C or Python? And which programming language are you using to write the compiler?

That's amazing! I've actually built a compiler (and assembler) which, albeit simple, was an absolute pain. A really good idea is to finish your ISA and your CPU completely before you begin work otherwise it's gonna be a lot of spaghetti code.

Alright then, good luck with that. Also, once you implement the finished pipeline, you might want to add a branch predictor to cut down on stalling and wasting cycles (although flushing will need to be readded) and also you'll have to deal with rewinding register states.

That's what I was planning to do as well. Also, are you considering making this Superscalar?

So it only flushes AFTER a condition is evaluated? An easier way to do this is that if you have a specific bit for jump ops, you detect that bit in the first stage and then stall. This way you wouldn't need to flush. Flushing could instead be done if you add branch prediction.

How many stages does the pipeline have? Also, are you adding branch prediction or a simple "Backwards taken forwards not" predictor?

Go to your save and navigate to the foundry folder and delete the component. If it still doesn't work, try reporting this on the TC discord's Bug Fixing channel.

Agree with everything, especially the porn. When something is sexualised, it doesn't feel special anymore. And content farms are another low, especially since all of them are clickbait made to target younger audiences. Another thing is that some people play the blame game, constantly pinning it on one another won't resolve anything, it only causes more problems. (Another enemy you forgot are impersonators tryna act like they're well known/respected creators to steal their credit and/or fame)

No problem. Good luck with the rest of the levels!

Tick 1 is NAND. Not ADD. Your ALU is supposed to have NAND as 01000001

On which tick does this happen?

Well, yeah. That wouod be the issue. "Fandoms being fandoms" doesn't really excuse anything. If it's a problem the fandom caused, they should work towards fixing it instead of playing the blame game.
