V P U
Just thinking about a hypothetical "VPU", or Voxel Processing Unit. This is actually possible with an fpga. Also would be possible to have an popcount operation. More research is needed, but having as many options available as possible allows for easier traversal through future changes in technology. For me the ultimate computer would be an 8-core Orange Pi RV2, rip out the AI garbage and replace it with an FPGA. It would only require 16 instructions: NOT - bitwise NOT of register. OR - bitwise OR of register. AND - bitwise AND of register. ADD - register addition with register. SUB - register subtraction with register. MUL - register multiplied with register. RS11 - right shift register 11 bits. RS13 - right shift register 13 bits. RS8 - right shift register 8 bits. ZSUB - zero subtracted from register. AND255 - register AND 255. 256SUB - 256 subtracted from register. ADD256 - 256 added to register. SUB256 - register sub...
