00:14 cheapie        It's in singleplayer so I could run it faster, 10000 instructions per second instead of the 500 that it's usually set for on VE-C
13:05 pgimeno        wow, that's fast-ish
13:06 pgimeno        quite fast for a 10 kHz processor
13:25 sfan5          I'm thinking we do need a "spawn me an async thread that only runs my own code" function
13:32 ireallyhateirc sounds helpful. Would it cover the usual asynch env APIs or more?

14:34 cheapie        pgimeno: It helps that it has a bunch of extensions (including "hardware" multiply/divide support and bit manipulation), and also that RISC-V in the "I" flavor (as seen here) has way more general-purpose integer registers than even base amd64 does
14:36 cheapie        I looked through what the compiler spat out (it was compiled with -O3 -march=rv32imcb_zicsr_zbkx) and while I don't think it used a good portion of these extensions, I did see it make a fair bit of use of some instructions from the Zbb portion of the B extension
14:37 cheapie        Interestingly it did not any of the shift-and-add instructions from the Zba extension, but some of my other programs I compiled for it did
14:37 cheapie        did not use any*
17:13 cheapie        RVController has now gained another extension (A) and the file is almost 2000 lines long
17:17 sfan5          did you look at Zc
18:00 cheapie        sfan5: Yes, I have C implemented, which implies Zca
18:02 cheapie        It would also imply Zcf if I had F and Zcd if I had D, but I don't have either of those and don't really have plans to implement them either
