Marketing-ish

[edit]

Current version [1] sounds a bit too much marketing: enthusiastic, all positive, too abstract, long lead-in. Musaran (talk) 16:16, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Registers & ALUs details please

[edit]

These look dubious and/or requires more explanation:

each basic block is given its own local registers

This is bound to make them either too scarce or wasteful, a know problem of independent unit design.
And does not address how data is passed between blocks/engines.

an EDGE CPU would normally consist of a single type of ALU-like unit.

Floating-point or division are known to be complex and have a big footprint, while a lot of code does not use them. One would expect hyperblocks dispatched to specialized engines ; or identical engines to dispatch operations to shared parallel execution units ; or maybe a slow but highly parallel microcode implementation.
