NAND-16: a computer built entirely from NAND gates
Original: NAND-16: a computer built from 277,248 NAND gates
A hobbyist project called NAND-16 has drawn attention for building a working 16-bit computer using 277,248 NAND gates as its only logic element. The design demonstrates how any digital circuit can, in principle, be constructed from a single type of gate, echoing classic educational computing projects. Readers are discussing the engineering effort and its value for teaching how computers work at the lowest level.
Why now: Technical communities are drawn to impressive from-first-principles builds that explain how computers fundamentally work.
