| My name is Alex Tomala and I am a grade 10 honour roll student at Cardinal Newman Catholic Secondary School. My favourite subjects are Math and Physics, which I find is easy. I wish there were more advanced courses in my school that I could take. I'm a member of multiple clubs which includes: Peer mentors, Peer Tutors, Year End Video, and the Science Olympics team. I also take part in math and computing contests, that I typically rank best in school. I attended BASEF twice (2011 and 2013) and in both cases I won a silver medal as well as many special awards (6, and 9 respectively). My passion for Science and Technology was fostered at a young age when I was interested in space. That interest developed into Math, Physics, and Computers. In the future I hope to study physics in university and receive a doctorate in that field. I am inspired by John von Neumann, as he made many contributions in various fields, which is what I want to do. |

MIPE: Microprocessor with Integrated Programmable Execution units
| Défi: | Information | | Catégorie: | Intermédiaire | | Région: | Bay Area | | Ville: | Hamilton, ON | | École: | Cardinal Newman Catholic S.S. | | Sommaire: | The problem with most modern microprocessors is that they are designed using a RISC or CISC instruction set which both have their own advantages and disadvantages. I designed and developed a microprocessor that uses configurable logic to allow for a variable instruction set architecture which combines the speed of a RISC processor with the instruction specialization of a CISC processor, which ultimately processed data faster. |
