As I'm working with a Java processor (JOP) I'm very
interested in your attempt to get picoJava running.
Did you implement it in an ASIC, FPGA? What about
size, performance,...
Do you think it would be possible to implement it
in a mid-size FPGA? I know the stack cache needs
5-port memories. A real issue in FPGAs (and probably
in ASICs also).
