![]() ![]() This thing is real, you can understand it completely, create your own program for it - and then literally see it run on your hardware.Ī big thank-you goes out to Arnoud, Axel, Bart, Carsten, Danny, David, Debbie, Domen, Edwin, Fiona, Frank #1, Frank #2, Gerd, Gerry,, Hans, Harris, Jan, Johan #1, Johan #2, John #1, John #2, Karlijn, Klaas, Koen #1, Koen #2, Lennart, Li Choo, Marc, Marcel #1, Marcel #2, Martin, Natasja, Oscar, Piotr, Rainer, RCR podcast, Ralph, Rene, Rink, Roel, Ronnie, Sam, Suzanne, Tech45 podcast, The Amp Hour podcast, Thomas, Tjeerd, Walter, Warren. It is intended as an educational tool for students, teachers and interested hobbyists. ![]() The Qibec CPU offers an exciting introduction into computing and programming at the machine-level. This project attempts to extend that magic with knowledge and understanding. If you’re on a tablet, try rotating to landscape and refreshing for a better experience. Tinkercad works best on desktops, laptops, and tablets. There may seem to exist some "magic" between pure hardware and a live program "running on that hardware". Circuit design Transistor created by josegarcialorenzo85 with Tinkercad. The challenge of understanding the CPU is thus divided into smaller tasks. The Qibec CPU has a modular design, where logical building-blocks are implemented as separate physical plug-in modules. Furthermore, no instruction-set has to be learned in order to program the CPU. This CPU (Central Processing Unit) only has 1 single native instruction, which operates on 1 data-bit.īecause of this simplicity, it becomes easy to fully understand the design. Ultimately the aim is to publish a design that can be build in a school year where all parts of a CPU and memory are 'visible' and so you can see the instruction fetch, decode to microcode, and address decoding/register access/logic all happening over the course of minutes. Qibec (pronounce "Quebec") is a simple educational CPU - not a complete computer - made from discrete transistors.
