I'm looking to sort of recreate the #setun or #setun70 processors for fun. They are Soviet computers created during the cold war. Soviet computing in that era is interesting caused they kinda had to create their own alternatives because of social isolation. While everyone when the tube route they created computers out of coil and ferrite cores. Since ferrite can be magnetised in multiple directions they created computers that works with 3 states. 0, 1 and T. Those units where not bits but trits. It's not binary but #ternary. Of course, that changes all the logic. According to my researches at the moment, it seems like memory reading was destructive so memory needed to be rewritten every single time. It's just an other world.

"Probably it is the first English paper about DSSP"

DSSP (Dialog System for Structured Programming)

http://brokestream.com/daf.txt

"DSSP was created in the laboratory of Brousentsov N.P. at the Computer science department of the Moscow State University in 1980, contemporary version - in 1985, 32-bit version - in 1989."

"Setun-70 is a ternary minicomputer with a two-stack architecture. From it DSSP inherited control constructions and the basic idea: programming without a semantic gap."

"Brousentsov was educated as mathematician. He has theoretical works in the fields of logic and computer architecture.
And he had a big experience in the computer industry as an architect and constructor of ternary computers Setun and Setun-70."

After #carbonnanotube transistors I see many #cfnet based designs for ternary logic circuits. Each new paper tries to make some #ternary logic gate more performant and less power consuming. This makes me think, Are Ternary computers gonna come back?

Unfortunately, I am a software guy and I don't know enough about these to conclude anything.

@gid something to do with #ternary computers? 😃 I'm less familiar with the soviet space program, but I've heard of #Strela and #Setun!

Also this popped up a while back and introduced me to the concept 😊
