I made a computer again. It can do a lot of stuff the previous one couldn't and can do most stuff that I'd ever wanted a TPT computer to do. It definitely can churn out Fibonacci numbers and primes. Check the relevant forum thread too.

I made the Mandelbrot demo wait for user input once it's done. It was not nice of it to just clear the screen and exit after who knows how many minutes/hours of computation that you probably left it alone for.

If it was a set of parallel cores, I think memory access would still be pretty simple. Code running on different processors would have to make sure to not trample on the memory accesses of code running on other cores. A fairly simple multithreading scenario.

aaah ok but thats still very cool, just a few more years of tpt computer development and we can run cp/m in tpt

It's multiple cores, but they are sequential, not parallel. So they act like one very fast core, not multiple slower ones.

is this an actual multi core processor? bc that would be absolutely nuts, also how does that work with shared memory and memory management? 8k words doesnt seem like a whole lot.
