Wow, blast from the past! I was on the architecture / micro-architecture team for the 29K and 29050, and your story of writing and debugging the emulator brought up similar memories of working on the performance simulator for these chips.
Very impressive work -- congratulations!
Wow! Thank you! The floating-point implementation in the Am29050 is really great as it ran in parallel with the integer unit. Sorry, I need to ask, maybe you don't remember. What happens if you write into gr2-gr63? Not really needed to know, but I've been curious the last 30 years.
