Transport Triggered Architecture - Implementations

Implementations

• MAXQ

Currently, the only commercially available microcontroller built upon (though not "featuring") Transport Triggered Architecture is from Dallas Semiconductor. However, it is an OISC or "one instruction set computer", offering but a single though flexible MOVE instruction, which can then function as various virtual instructions by moving values directly to the program counter.

• The "move project" has designed and fabricated several experimental TTA microprocessors.

• The TCE project is a re-implementation of the MOVE tools. The tools are available as open source, and the compiler is built around the LLVM compiler framework.

• The architecture of the Amiga Copper has all the basic features of a transport triggered architecture.

• The Able processor developed by New England Digital.

• The WireWorld based computer.
• Dr. Dobb's published One-Der a 32-bit TTA in Verilog with a matching cross assembler and Forth compiler.

• Mali (200/400) vertex processor, uses a 128-bit instruction word single precision floating point scalar TTA.
