> while we have gone from a complete custom architectural idea to tapeout in ~11 months from closing our first seed funding. To my understanding, the Mill project is not financed. They're enthusiasts working for sweat equity, and are likely going to seek (non-controlling?) investment to finally hit silicon when they're ready. For the scope of what they're doing, I think it's a defensible enough approach. It's not something that can be created in evolutionary stages; all designs of all parts need to be working together properly for there to be benefit from any part, and it's quite complex while also trying out tons of novel designs. (and the Mill isn't stack-based or stack-related. It's basically a crossbar of recent ALU/Load results being fed into further ALU/Store inputs in parallel. The belt is just some way to represent the set of recent results.) |
