Discussion Ask HN: Weirdest Computer Architecture? My limited understanding of “the stack” is: Physical substrate: Electronics Computation theory: Turing machines Smallest logical/physical parts: Transistors, Logic gates Largest logical/physical parts: Chips Lowest level programming: ARM/x64 instructions First abstractions of programming: Assembly, C compiler Software architecture: Unix kernel , Binary interfaces User interface: Screen, Mouse, Keyboard, GNU Does there exist a computer stack that changes all of these components?Or at the least uses electronics but substitutes something else for Turing machines and above. 94 points bckr 2 years ago 107 comments
