@miodvallat : Et une petite histoire sur le fabuleux et méconnu #iAPX432, tu aurais ça sous le coude ? J'ai toujours eu l'impression que c'était un #cpu plein de bonnes idées mais dont la concrétisation a été désastreuse, un #titanium avant l'heure en quelque sorte *:)*

@jbm I heard of this several years ago and it sounded ... interesting. Yes, definitely interesting. Strong #Intel #iAPX432 vibes though.
I have a set of Intel iAPX 432 Geneal Data Processor chips, C43201 and C43202, release 2.1.
I have the General Data Processor Architecture Reference Manuals for releasea 1.0 and 3.2. I've been seeking copies of the Architecture Reference Manual Advance Partial Issue for release 2.0 (171860-002, October 1981) for more than 30 years.
Also looking for release notes for any GDP or IP component releases. Or any iAPX 432 hardware, software, or documentatiomn of any kind.

Not every grand CPU design is a success… a dive into the Intel #iAPX432 #CISC processor.

iAPX432 : Gordon Moore, Risk and Intel’s Super-CISC failure

The legacy of Intel's over-ambitious 32-bit 'micromainframe' failure.

The Chip Letter
The #CHERI #ComputerArchitecture seems like its making the same error so many have made before. It's the Pascal mindset that lead to things like Itanic and pretty much forgotten #iapx432 and similar @protecttruth
