glad you enjoyed it

various source code is available here www.cpm.z80.de/source.html The CP/M-86 source code is down towards the middle of the page.

I guess it all depends on the languages one is familiar with. For someone used to assembly or other languages it's probably more complicated in python....

You need a bit more coding. I have a push down with a counter implemented in this video: ua-cam.com/video/mUyiBI-4IxE/v-deo.html It also contains stuff for controlling the attached lights. Hope it helps.

I haven't used this particular shift register. However, a very quick glance at the datasheet shows a STROBE signal connected to a storage register and an EO signal connected to the 3-state output. I'm guessing you are not driving these correctly. It's likely that you want to send 8 bits and then stop shifting the register until you need to actually change the stored bits. In the datasheet there is also a timing diagram including the STROBE signal, so you could try using an oscilloscope to see if you are driving it in the same way. On the other hand, if you are using a microcontroller, you could use directly multiple pins as in my circuit, without an external shift register. Anyway, if you are using microcontroller pins for STROBE/EO/DATA/CLK then you are likely not saving that many pins. Of course everything depends on the design and the intended outcome.

That sounds like a very interesting project. Would love to see more of it. Do you have a repository or you are still in the beginning of the work ?

@@ComputingMongoose In the beginning. I am still learning assembly and your channel is great help even though you are using a different assembly language.

The correct answer would be "x86 64-bit assembly". I guess you could short it to "x64" even though this does not make sense. The "x" in "x86" stands for the various CPUs that implemented this architecture (8086, 80286, 80386, etc.) when it was 16-bits, 32-bits and now it is 64-bits. Also a modern CPU still contains all the older instructions and registers (I have a video running an old MSDOS operating system on a new CPU without any change). But my videos (especially those running on Linux and Windows) do make use of the modern 64-bit architecture.

@@ComputingMongoose Thank you for the clarification! Btw, way then are old programs run in 32bit mode, if the instructions exist on the CPU?

@@nickst2797 When running in 32-bit there is also a different view of the addressing modes. I guess "old" may mean they were written before the new addressing mode in 64-bits (or at least without using it). A very short assembly program, like "MOV AX,3" could be compiled in 32-bits (this sets a flag in the exe file) and then could be executed in 64-bits without problems (say by changing the flag in the exe header, even though it may require some other formatting changes). However, by explicitly using 32-bit addressing modes like "MOV AX, DS:[EDI]" this becomes invalid in 64-bits mode. However, the CPU still knows about this instruction when running in 32-bits mode (and there are actually multiple 32-bits modes). I hope this quick writeup makes some sense. Some more here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Operating_modes

Glad you enjoyed it !

@@ComputingMongoose : Subscribed. Please keep posting great Assembly Codes with Neurals.

@@fernandoadventius7098 My other assembly videos are also somewhat related. They will later be assembled into a larger ANN allowing loading external data.

A while back I searched for NVidia assembly and I couldn't find any documentation (maybe I wasn't looking hard enough or maybe things have changed now). Anyway, assembly is linked to a specific device and it may change between family of devices. Thus at least for NVidia you are stuck with nvcc compiler. Another option would be to use the shaders (I remember seeing some projects about that) but it's still high level language. Of course, I can't speak about companies and their reasons for doing things. I think however it doesn't matter that much for a big company as they can use thousands of cpus/gpus/tpus.

@@ComputingMongoose Indeed, I had forgotten about that detail-the hardware/assembly dependency for coding, which is a major obstacle to device compatibility and could render all the code obsolete as soon as a new generation comes out. Thank you for your response

Pull requests are welcome

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it was helpful!

🤣🤣🤣

Indeed. But 8'' floppys had an advantage over usb drives... they were harder to misplace 😀😀 I also created a short video with the floppy disks ua-cam.com/video/eniFiVQdFeg/v-deo.html . I was actually just playing with the OpenShot editor, so no particular reason in creating the movies, but it brought back some memories nonetheless.

If you find the link I would be interested in it. In any case, my implementation is intended to be used later for loading data from files and not for other optimizations.

🤣🤣🤣 In this case, Welcome to Heaven 😇

Glad you enjoyed it!

For larger networks indeed it should be possible to accelerate it with AVX (or other SIMD extensions). I will likely explore this in the future, after adding more complexity to the network.

I am working towards a network with multiple layers and with some data loading. But I don't think I will implement loading of pytorch or similar models since this is quite tedious in all assembly.

@@ComputingMongoose so, it can be used for training models? All current open models are based on llama-cpp which as i remember Stanford uni made from Facebook "leaked"(not really) model, kinda all architecture foundation on that.

@@fontenbleau I am not working towards llama architectures, but if I continue working on it, it will likely become able to train some more advanced models. But again I am not working specifically towards llama or other specific architectures. I am also not targeting specifically NLP applications (NNs can be used for image, voice, sensor data, etc. apart from NLP). However, it would make for an interesting application to be able to perform some text analysis with the assembly language network. I will have to think what is the easiest application to implement.

Thanks! Glad to have you on board!

Judging from the comments, views and likes, it seems a lot of people were thinking about this.

If you're thinking about the final result (in terms of end loss, accuracy or other metric) then I agree. But from a time perspective, it doesn't really matter since the number of epochs is fixed, thus making the same number of operations. I do intend to extend the network though and add multiple layers and solve some more complex problems.

I do have a video exactly about this: ASM vs Pytorch Lightning ua-cam.com/video/j9DaMb3sHws/v-deo.html

Thanks and welcome!

Always happy to make someone's dream come true 😅

@@ComputingMongoose now im gonna copy your code and put my money where my mouth is, learn to make NNs in asm even if its just twice for fun

@@iCrimzon Sounds great !

Glad it was helpful!

I think indeed this is due mostly to the python part. I was however expecting a bit more being done in c++. I am not familiar with Candle, but I looked at it and it does seem like a good thing to try. For the moment I'm focusing on adding more complexity to my network. I"ll release some more movies with new additions. Afterwards, more experiments will follow.

@@ComputingMongoose Other obvious shoot is TensorFlow but i have no idea how much work is needed to use it... 😅 I'm waiting for more assembly adventures.

@@AK-vx4dy There are indeed many frameworks out there... Anyway, more assembly stuff will be coming soon.

Sorry about that! Thanks for letting me know. It's actually the default setting in Midnight Commander and I'm quite used to it. I will try to change it to some other colors (maybe black background?). But there will be a couple more videos released with this blue background as I have filmed them already and they need only editing, thumbnails and youtube stuff.

Get used to it. This is how computers were for most of history.

@@RichardLofty Indeed! And I still enjoy these basic interfaces, yet I do understand that for younger people it may seem weird.

Haha that’s the default for midnight commander

Thank you very much!

Glad you enjoyed it !

Thank you. This is actually the second request for a learning video. I will try to make one, but not in the very near future since it will take me a while to cover the architecture and the basic instructions.

Welcome 😊

Thanks

Thank you!

Suggestions are always welcome! I am also playing with a Pi Pico at the moment, but not in assembly. In the future however I may do some ARM assembly as well.

Actually yes. I will upload a video comparing this to Pytorch Lightning in a couple of days, using the same data and no gpu.

Glad you enjoyed it

I was considering some beginner tutorials (not in the very near future though), but I was thinking about modern 64-bit stuff. Why are you interested in 16 or 32 bit as a beginner? From a job perspective, nowadays almost everything runs in 64-bit. If you want to do some code optimization or write routines for drivers in assembly you are likely working on 64-bit systems. Alternatively, you could learn ARM / RISC-V for things like embedded systems.

@@ComputingMongoose What tutorial or course would you recommend to a person who is completely new to assembler ?

@@filipzdravkovic7134 I'm sorry, but I don't have a particular tutorial or resource in mind. My experience was accumulated over many years from many sources and through work. I do hope you will find a good resource.

No.
