16KB RAM Has Redstone Surpassed Rocket Science ?

I made a 16 KB RAM module in Minecraft, in this video I will show you how it works. And I will compare it to the 14 KB Memory module, that the Saturn V used to guide the first humans to the moon.

The core memory inside a Saturn V rocket's computer:

Dangerously close to having a playable doom using a redstone computer

[micahaghedo]

With this much memory you could probably make a calculator for trig functions like sin, cos, and tan

[mitch]

I love how structurally it's starting to look like an actual stick of ram

[Jeracraft]

This is living proof Minecraft is NOT just a game. The stuff people are creating nowadays is getting out of hand. 😂

Imagine going back in time and showing this video to one of the rocket scientists

[Slider]

I was always jealous of people who understood redstone to this degree. I'm no rocket scientists, but these contraption went a long way from just "hidden doors"

[BetterDeadthenRed]

Normal Computers: YES. NO

Quantum Computers: Perhaps

[jackdesanta]

It doesn't matter what you use this for because I'm pretty sure it's gonna be awesome

[yeetmcmeat]

videos like this really make you realize just how dense our modern data storage systems are.

4:25 this is why ram is called random access memory, you can access any part of it. The tape and the shulker box are sequential access memory.

[Zapenator]

Brilliant Editing, and i love how you seamlessly used minecraft to teach us history and computer science, we need more content like this in the minecraft community

[traveseros]

Redstone videos like this should have millions of views this is just brilliant

[tchotchonyt]

I don't even understand half of what's going on, but I do appreciate the poetics of using disk memory.

[internetpig]

I can't even use redstone to make a fake door without mumping it up, this is just. . . insane.

Redstone masters are like magicians to me. This does give me a "better" idea how RAM works, and also blows my mind that humans created RAM in the first place, allowing me to play minecraft, video games, and watch and comment on this video. Incredible!

[MrReneKonig]

I'm a big space nerd and I've seen videos about the Saturn5 ram before, so I instantly recognised it. But this is the frist time I understood how it works. Kudos, would have never suspected to receive this knowledge from a Minecraft video :)

[minedeath-pvp]

I'm amazed by what you've achieved, and I love the historical "insight" that come with it (I really enjoyed learning how the Saturn V ram works)! This is truly a masterpiece 🤯

It’s crazy to think that we could send people to the moon with the rocket running Minecraft

Storing shulker boxes *and* music discs together would open up a load of possibilities. Music discs can be read in one cycle and thus are fast but inefficient, making them a 4 bit word. It's perfectly analogous to RAM compression!

The order you insert discs in a shulker is the order they are read. If you have a secondary cache box to eventually be returned to the original location, you could have a processor do any kind of modifications to the cache box that you want before you return it, with the empty box being recycled for the next cache box.

Effectively, you can freeze the RAM/processor for up to 27 clock cycles (actually, the number of items in the box!), but for that period you can do pre-conceived reads, writes, inserts, or removes to the box for the entire period. Inserts compress the RAM more, removes decompress it. The more compressed the RAM is, the longer it freezes the processor/RAM for.

This would allow for you to create arrays optimized for streaming lots of data in/out, while having your standard 4 bit words that are quick to access, but you could also grow/shrink each value in the RAM to desired efficiencies!

With 16Kb RAM (and assuming more in ROM) you could easily combine this with some tech used in CHUNGUS 2) to design a programming language, and give a compiler, so that you could design AND SAVE multiple programs into one red stone computer. It would be important if rot figure out hard drives, more storage perhaps at the sacrifice of speed-of-access. But getting an OS and compiler onto a minecraft computer would be huge, this could definitely help

I REALLY appreciate your effort and the details you have included in this video. I don’t play Minecraft but I’m aware of projects like this, and I’ve always been fascinated as to how people go about creating such things. It’s an excellent example of how designed constraints can produce something truly amazing! I can totally see if you were born in a different time you’d be the one wiring up the shuttle memory yourself!
