Guest Software rendered OpenGL kmscube running on a guest 64-bit RISCV Alpine Linux system in my PasRISCV emulator with active x86-64 Tracing JIT Dynarec compiler with smooth >= 60FPS 🙂 #RISCV #Emulation #JIT

but it is primarily targeted at embedded and low-power applications rather than high-performance computing. (5/5)

extremely complex "super-SIMD" that is difficult to efficiently map in a JIT. A more traditional SIMD extension with fixed vector widths and clearly defined instruction semantics would have been much more JIT-friendly. The upcoming P extension does go in that direction, (4/5)

The irony: the entire #RISCV base ISA (RV64GC) is beautifully RISC: simple opcodes, fixed 32-bit instructions (+ compressed), load/store architecture, no flags, no implicit state. Then RVV comes along and throws all those principles out the window: global implicit state, (1/5)

@TechByTaraa ... A far underrated language in my opinion, since the most knows only the old "School" Pascal with its bad reputation, and not the today modern Object Pascal.

@TechByTaraa Object Pascal, it's low-level like C and C++, it has inline-assembler, it is readable, it has a good standard library, it has modern features like RTTI, generics, anonymous functions and so on, it has good IDEs (Delphi and Lazarus), and it has a good community. ...

Which programming language made you fall in love with coding?

consistent design for more traditional SIMD instructions in the future, while still keeping the benefits of RVV for more advanced use cases. (3/3)

but it also makes it more complex and harder to implement a JIT compiler for it in my PasRISCV emulator, where the JIted code needs often to bailout to the interpreter for non-native-SIMDizable code cases. I hope that the RISC-V foundation can come up with a more clean and (2/3)

A small rant about vector extensions in RISC-V, although I like RISC-V in general. But why is RISC-V's vector extension (RVV) so different from other SIMD instruction sets like x86's SSE/AVX or ARM's NEON? It seems like RVV is designed to be more flexible and scalable, (1/3)

XOrg is also running in my PasRISCV emulator now. 🙂

@justbyte_ MS-DOS edit.com and the integrated editors of PowerBASIC 3.2 and Turbo Pascal 6

Be honest, what was your first code editor??

@TechByTaraa x86-16/x86-32/x86-64 Assembler (Intel Syntax, not AT&T Syntax), C, C++, C#, Object Pascal, POCA, PHP, Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, PowerBASIC, QBasic, and some more

Which programming languages can you code in without using AI?

@akramcodez 3 years but with a 5 year old CPU (Ryzen 9 5950X), 64GB RAM, and a RTX4090. It's fast enough, and I don't feel the need to upgrade yet, especially in these days when hardware prices like RAM are quite high. I've also the near same setup with a AMD Raedon RX 9700 XT for tests.

How many years old is your current computer?

@RinoTheBouncer On no console, on an Amstrad CPC6128 home computer, followed by x86 PCs.

Let’s go!🚀

PasRISCV's network device emulation is finally working 🙂

FreeBSD in PasRISCV 🙂

PasRISCV now has its own local CLI debugger alongside the GDB remote server. It supports breakpoints single-stepping register & memory inspection & allows simultaneous local CLI & remote GDB sessions. A public debugger API enables future GFX debugger UI. youtu.be/yznijHMKj_0
