I think that the context matters. In the case of an external consultant being asked to sign an NDA (whether prematurely or otherwise), Eric S Raymond presents some compelling arguments on why and how NOT to sign them. http://esr.

Multi-cycle operations can actually be inserted into the pipeline. The `ena` signal would just need to be held low during that time.

There's already one! https://github.com/sybreon/dcpu16 The core is written entirely in synthesisable Verilog RTL. Synthesises to about 700+ Slices at around 150MHz on a Spartan6. (minus h/w division and modulo) Feel free to extend/expand/

I started with LOGO in 1989 and BASIC in 1992. So, 20-odd years or so. And still at it! Though, I've got a lot less time to focus on it now, with all sorts of other worldly responsibilities.

You DO NOT have plenty of time! Kids grow up so quickly that before you know it, he'll be 18!

An alternative: Install a proxy server, such as squid, on your local machine. Point your browser to use the local proxy server. Some stuff will get cached on your proxy server and will not be loaded from the Internet. You can install some a

Does anyone know the name of the new theme and if it is available for download on the site?

With a web-app like this, I would be concerned about IP issues. Half the industry is banking on IP unless they are open-source like the OR1K. Otherwise, a proprietary house might be hesitant to upload HDL code even if it is over a secure SS

Measuring the relative power draw due to flipping logic can definitely be done with present day simulation tools. The question is whether there is any significant advantage in saving X% of power in the processor core. In a complex system, t

Not in the similar vein, but I would recommend "The Last Lecture" (by Randy Pausch). It was very inspirational to me. http://www.amazon.com/Last-Lecture-Randy-Pausch/dp/140132325...

Writing a synthesis tool is like writing a high-level language compiler, fairly difficult. On top of that, synthesis (by definition) targets a specific technology. This is like targeting different CPU architectures and platforms with said c
