A) Memory access time???
It uses normal 150 ns memory but is was accessing 16 bits in
250ns of the clock speed.

Stack machines have been with us at least since the early 60's.
There must be a reason that when it comes to applications needing raw
performance that no manufacturer adopts the model.

Hi
Take any machine from the 1990's and write a routine that
can sort 1K 16 bit integers in 19.2ms. That was done on a
stack machine running with a 4 MHz clock! B) Code & data listing???
I'd have to look around for the listing. I'm not sure how much good it will
do since it was optimized for that particular stack engine ( NC4000 ).

A machine that blends the best parts of stacks
and
registers is actually the best.
It has never been about how good the processor is. It is
mostly marketing.
Like Mr Gates and his wonderfull Wind^H^H^H^H BASIC.

PS, Does anybody have BYTE's
small C benchmarks on line?
