Old School Coding, Part 5: Edge
1Join me as I use techniques from the 1980s and 1990s, a computer language standardized in 1999, and perhaps some more modern tools, to develop a discrete event simulation of an 8080-based computer system.
The rule was "Design from the top down, implement from the bottom up" -- and I have a basic design in mind, so we can swing right in with implementing starting from the lowest level primitives and working upward.
In the previous session, I used the now practiced process to build a "fifo" that runs steps in the order they were added (which probably should strictly have been done before "sched" but no harm, no foul). In this session I plan on swinging into the first of the bits of code that are more simulator-like: the Edge.
