Matt wonder if you could make selection sort in Minecraft and I saw you did counting at 5hz and 11 ticks per second and bubble sort so I wonder if you could do selection

[@snibo1024]

For some reason making it a Minecraft tutorial is much more aprochable than videos that use actual computers or a shit load of diagrams, even though it's exactly the same principles

[@deltamico]

the reason is that the target group has hours of experience with redstone

[@selikwilhelm4086]

@@deltamico nah, not even. I'm actually a computer science student and this is is actually miles better than the stuff you get at my uni in terms of complexity. much more easy to follow along in here.

​​@@selikwilhelm4086literally bro, I'm a compeng student and these videos are a perfect summary of the topics in my system architecture classes, both compeng and compsci

[@fus-ro-dah]

@@selikwilhelm4086 I think it's because you're seeing it being built, rather than just being told how its built. The concepts appear much less arcane.

[@Woshibairen]

@@fus-ro-dah This and his format works well to explain how it works because there is animations for everything. A lot of time for presentations it's just lecture slides with info dumps and pictures. An example, him showing how assembly goes to binary, he shows each part of the instruction turn into their respective bits, which provides an extremely solid connection to the opcode/operands and what they're represented with in binary.

[@pannekook2000]

I actually adore that you made the metaphor of the CPU being a tiny man pressing buttons real

IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES!!!

As a CS student taking a computer organization and architecture class rn, I love seeing the stuff that I'm learning implemented like this. Keep up the good work bro :)

Im currently building my completely own 16bit cpu together with a friend and this series already helped out sooo much, im really grateful for having some one like you teaching these things in a relatively approachable way

I've been so excited and couldn't wait for Mattbatwing's series to build my own computer that I started to search more and I already made some add programs using Program ROM and Path control using Control ROM. and started my ISA. so whatch Mattbatwing's series will be useful to synchronize knowledge. if you are excited as me, just start do learn by yourself everywhere on internet

[@LightslicerGP]

Also key point: having r0 always be 0 is useful in not needing a "read" signal for when you do rightshift, just noticed that If you had been able to use r0, you would NEED a read line for right shift so you don't accidently use the data in r0 when "plugging in" r0 for the "second operand" (which doesn't exist) Amazing, gg as always

[@rafal.qwerty]

I am very impressed with your understanding of these topics. I graduated IT university a few years ago and even though I had quite a high grade, when I watch your videos I feel stupid. With your knowledge and deep understanding you can achieve big things in your future carrier. Not only as a redstoner.

Great video! Small typo in the table at 6:00 though: it's "pseudo", not "psuedo".

[@mcblaze905]

Ya Matt, great video. I'm totally loving these series but just to ask, can you do a live stream of you building with redstone. Just wanna see how redstoners actually do their build

[@SubatomicPlanets]

I would really love a video about different CPU architectures! Which ones are used most often, which are easiest, which are most redstone friendly?

[@Waffle_6]

hey matbatwings, im in university right now for computer and electrical engineering, focusing on comp engineering of course. and im really quite surprised how well this is all structured. this is what we went over freshman year of college really quite nicely and cpu design is basically datapath optimization x1000 lol. this is really cool. ive been meaning to build a cpu in minecraft, most ive done was design a 4 function calculator(with square root via newtons method was so cool to 16yo me) and like computational redstone was really the reason why i went to school for this im sure your videos are going to inspire alot more people to go into this, thats pretty cool

[@yarrakobama3417]

Nice work, but... writing mc assembly just to use a python script to translate that into a minecraft structure to run a program within a game inside a game engine handling graphics via OpenGL controlling a graphics device who's driver was started by the OS which was itself started by the bootloader which was itself started by the BIOS loading the MBR but only after performing a POST which was triggered by you pressing the power button which is only possible due to centuries of research by people way smarter than us. (I can't wait for someone to make a C compiler for this)

[@rodrigoqteixeira]

10:55 Now that you talk about it. I have been considering wether making an intermediate assembly language for optimisation reasons would be worth it for the compiler. It woule be good to avoid a pop instruction emediately after a push. Also avoiding multiple ADIs to r3 one after the other.

[@Lino-ty5hv]

This is absolutely a thing; in fact most compilers for high-level languages will go through multiple intermediate representations and perform optimisations at each step. The most basic example is that a lot of languages compile to the LLVM intermediate representation, because then they can take advantage of the massive amount of work that’s already been put into making optimisers for that bytecode. It also has the advantage that a person making a high-level language doesn’t have to worry about the different machine codes for different computer architectures, because the people who work on LLVM have that mostly sorted already

[@rodrigoqteixeira]

@@Lino-ty5hv ok, but the question is if I should do it on the compiler

After watching this video I kinda wanna make a program rom but I'd need to build the alu and register file first

[@luketurner314]

This reminds me of Ben Eater's series on a breadboard computer, but in Minecraft

[@Garfield_Minecraft]

make a compiler next so the way your assembly work is it adds 2 numbers but require third register for storing the result? that's quite weird because in real world you only need two arguments/operands it stores in the first register. there isn't eax, ebx, ecx, or stack pointer esp. I guess you're not trying to replicate x86 architecture it could be use with jumping to labels and calling functions

[@valshaped]

This is a RISC architecture-it aims to do more with less, and a large part of that is forcing every register to be general purpose. Since there's no special-purpose accumulator register, you have to design the instruction set to allow storing results in an arbitrary register. It complicates the register design slightly, but means that you can omit entire classes of instruction. That's also why the zero register is a necessity. For example, you don't need a register-to-register move instruction, since `mov r1, r2` is equivalent to `ADD r1 r0 r2` You can even bake support into the assembler for this kind of pseudo-instruction, and map the mnemonic `MOV r1 r2` to the machine code `0010 0001 0000 0010` (ADD r1 r0 r2) or any other equivalent instruction.

[@ericcheng5496]

Guess we would need an ‘immediate generator’ next😊

[@RandomMinecraftUser8]

[@manouel3417]

What is right shift exacly? is it like multiplication by 2 or division by 2 ?

[@joshuaweber5577]

Yea that’s basically what it does It actually makes the individual bits move to the left or to the right, so the 2s place to the 4s place, 4s place to the 8s place, etc.

[@BotturasStudios]

what are you going to do in the next video? like what is the next step so i can start trying to figure that out before you make out a video of it (probably the 26th)

[@justinnamilee]

I'm having trouble with your 6-bit ALU configuration but 4-bit opcodes... But other than that, neat! EDIT: Oh yes, it's been a while since the ALU video, but nevermind. EDIT2: Yeah, really you could have just stuck with NAND and said heck the rest of the bitwise operations. xD

[@danishsayyad9136]

Thanks to brilliant for sponsoring this video!

[@curtisnewton895]

this is fucking cool

[@matthewparker9276]

Well at least three of the remaining instructions has to be SET, MOV, and some kind of conditional jump. I wonder what the plans are for the other 7.

[@matthewparker9276]

Although, come to think of it, with the three operand setup, MOV isn't strictly necessary.

[@misha279_UA]

2:06 why there are 9 functions, but 11 rows in table?

[@mattbatwings]

Whoops.. I forgot to include implies and nimplies in the text. they are the 3rd to last row and 2nd to last row, above right shift. So actual text looks like this Add Sub XOR XNOR OR NOR AND NAND IMPLIES NIMPLIES Rshift

[@tyboro2275]

why is the right shift fixed to shifting 1 bit instead of making the user able to shift n bits we have 4 bits free now cant we use those for this?

[@shishioko]

im guessing its because of it being difficult to build a simple circuit that shifts more than 1 bit without it bein unnecessarily big or taking n times more time or such

[@oxygen2623]

So, that assembler can be made as we wish? Like you wrote 0010 0001 0001 0010 But can i customize it to 0001 0001 0010 0010?

[@samuelhulme8347]

The 1s and 0s the assembler outputs must match the instructions you have in the Control ROM and how you have ordered the instructions’ operands.

[@deltamico]

That would make it postfix, a format somewhat compatible with his calculator design
