  • Need C compiler for sensible stack machine

    From Stephen Pelc@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 5 13:57:29 2023
    Some time ago we assisted a client making a sensible 2-stack machine in silicon.

    First silicon is running, the end-useris very excited. They now want a C compiler
    for this machine. If you are interested in writing a C compiler and know how
    to
    do it, we want to hear from you and gwt your CV/resume. Funding is available.

    Please note that all the technical details are under NDA and that copyright of the compiler must with be open or end up with our client. Technical details of the
    CPU will be released once you have signed an NDA. Assistance with the
    optimiser may also be available.

    Is GPL3 acceptable? That would be necessary if the compiler is a GCC port.

    Consider Archelon Inc. which can quickly build C compilers for special silicon:

    Good news, thanks.

    The Zylin zpu is a single stack zero operand processor with gcc compiler[1]
