From the project
DekatronPC - vacuum tube and cold-cathode tube based computer
A vacuum tube and cold-cathode tube based computer
Сan do +1 and -1 operations by desing, so they are best devices for brainfuck instruction set.
As a next generation of BrainfuckPC, DekatronPC should have next characteristics:
8 instructions - pure brainfuck only without RLE; 1M Instruction Pointer counter; 30K Address Pointer Counter; 256 data counter; Harvard architecture; Up to 50kHz clock; RAM size - 30 000 bytes; RAM device - ferrite core memory;
