16KB RAM Has Redstone Surpassed Rocket Science ?

I made a 16 KB RAM module in Minecraft, in this video I will show you how it works. And I will compare it to the 14 KB Memory module, that the Saturn V used to guide the first humans to the moon.

The most amazing part of these sort of creations is that they are perfect for teacher younger people how computing works

[@longebane]

It’s not a perfect teacher because it’s too abstracted and makes a simple concept more complicated.

[@Hexcede]

Storing shulker boxes *and* music discs together would open up a load of possibilities. Music discs can be read in one cycle and thus are fast but inefficient, making them a 4 bit word. It's perfectly analogous to RAM compression! The order you insert discs in a shulker is the order they are read. If you have a secondary cache box to eventually be returned to the original location, you could have a processor do any kind of modifications to the cache box that you want before you return it, with the empty box being recycled for the next cache box. Effectively, you can freeze the RAM/processor for up to 27 clock cycles (actually, the number of items in the box!), but for that period you can do pre-conceived reads, writes, inserts, or removes to the box for the entire period. Inserts compress the RAM more, removes decompress it. The more compressed the RAM is, the longer it freezes the processor/RAM for. This would allow for you to create arrays optimized for streaming lots of data in/out, while having your standard 4 bit words that are quick to access, but you could also grow/shrink each value in the RAM to desired efficiencies!

[@jorgesaxon3781]

You could improve this 5 fold! If You use all 9 slots and work with bigger packets (Basically changing from a 4 bit architecture to a 20 bit architecture) you could improve memory efficiency massively, And yes the dropper spits out the items randomly so you wouldnt be able to store 72bits per dropper, but you still would have a massive improvement if we add a constraint of only unique sorted combination of music disks in each dropper and make a chip that translates between binary and this sorted lists to write, then use a buffer and sort them at read time so that you would be able to store up to 20 bits per dropper without losing that much speed, I am not a redstone engineer (Im a programmer) but using this concept of combinatorics could improve this design to store up to 80kb of data!

The computer would have memory of past commands, it could tell you how many days it ran. I'm thinking about how it could be used in a vanilla base but maybe that's a way too practical perspective :p

[@SlackinPanda]

Skulk sensors don't work well for this, as reloading the chunk they are on resets all the stored information on them. Mumbo has a good video showcasing this and explaining why currently it's only mildly useful. Essentially you'd have to reset the sounds of each one every time you load the game, or any time a chunk reloads

Have you thought about using a cache? This is how CPU's do it, they don't have ram directly hooked up to the registers or whatever because that would be slowwwww, they have a cache connected to the ram, which is much faster to access. When you want to access something that isn't in the cache (cache miss) you would use for example LRU (least recently used) eviction policy and replace the least recently used line in the cache, and this would take some time. It's a little bit more complicated than that but nothing unmanagable.

One nitpick, the Saturn V actually had more than 14kb of ram, but the actual number is obscured by a the changing of standards, a change in hardware architecture, and redundancy. There's a little bit of a lesson that needs to happen to explain why there's fuzz in the number, the Launch Vehicle Digital Computer was originally created before the standardization of memory size, in stead of 8 bits to 1 byte they used bits to words as a general unit of measurement, however the number of bits per word varied wildly based on who you were working for and sometimes between projects, most modern documentation uses a ratio of 16 bits to 1 word. The Launch Vehicle Digital Computer used a ratio of 26 bits to 1 word, and each memory core could hold 4 kilowords, so 26(bits/word)*4000(words)=104000(bits), which when you divide that by 8 to get bytes you end up with ~13kb, which lines up with the value of one memory core. But wait, there's more! Depending on the mission each LVDC had up to 8 of these memory cores, increasing the available ram of the rocket to 104kb. However this available memory was sometimes used in duplex mode, which was a redundancy setting that made it so that they could almost guarantee the data onboard survived the mission, but halved the effective memory to 52kb. And some missions had entire redundant computer systems, which further muddies the numbers. All of this redundancy was because of how violent a launch into space is. Best of all though? These memory cores were built tough. They have ridiculous memory integrity, even when unpowered, the read board on almost all of the modules have broken or degraded, but the rings themselves are still holding a charge from when they were programmed, NASA thinks the mission program is still in a state that it could be executed properly, at least 50 years later, which is well beyond modern day DRAM, which looses the data the instant it's powered off, HDD's, which usually last 8ish years unpowered, optical disks, that last on average 10 years before they literally start to rot (Blu-Ray might last longer, but no one's really checked), SSD's, which should hold out mathematically to 20 unpowered, even the various tape technologies, that last up to 30 years without rewrite.

I'm learning computer architecture and organization in college, THIS is better than all the books and resources available for explaining how computers work.

This is cool as hell, what are some applications of it? Id love to see a video on rhat

[@Spumoon]

So you're telling me we now have the power to reach the moon again finally after 50 years, thanks to Minecraft?

[@Moutchitos]

i want to see this used to find base locations on a server lol

[@triducal]

you're insane

[@MultiSexgun]

it would be cool to understand this someday

[@Tekdruid]

That's some next level redstone engineering right there.

[@dackyc9231]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the brilliant production quality of this video?

the sicko demonic fallen angels quartum computer!!! all technology is demonology!!!
