Limen Alpha is a dual-core 16-bit RISC processor architecture with hardware synchronization between the cores, created in 2016. The original code was established one year sooner, and then successfully used as a part of my high school thesis. However, the processor has evolved since then. It has been redesigned, and now it is dual-core. Also, it supports hardware interrupts for both cores.
The work on the processor itself is now finished. However, the used coding conventions may be outdated comparing to my current standards.
If you are curious how the machine code of Limen Alpha looks like, browse the collection of such programs.
The original intention was to design and release also the following Limen processors.
- Optimized critical paths
- Simple memory protection
- Single core only
- Improve simulation system
- Six-stage pipelining
- Cache included
- support.md – questions, answers, help
- contributing.md – how to get involve
- license – author and license
