Used to program the 6502 then the 65C02 using the compiler Merlin. I could spend hours buried in assembly language routines, debugging and optimizing just to shave off a few microseconds. Loved it!
This is amazing! I used to program in Z-80 and 8080 Assembly, and your source code is similar. I will visit your project for more details, because I'm interested in the architecture. I have subscribed and thumbs-up! P.S. This would look great with a flipdot display!
To think that today, the phone in our hands can do this same calculation trillions of times in the time it took this antique relay computer to do it once.
Would I recommend using this computer? No. It’s slow. Would I recommend using this computer for calculations in the exam hall and to make music? Absolutely.
just shows how fast modern computers are. on my ryzen 9 3900x it takes only 90 seconds to calculate 1 billion digits of pi. by the time this calculator finishes doing 8 digits i can do over 5 billion
@@Pavel.Dovgalyuk ok. but why was it doing well until that point? not enough registers for that many decimal places? Its giving me much more appreciation for the eggheads who figured this out on paper hundreds of years ago.
@@Gazdatronik the first recorded methods were with regular n-gons. But the info is rare. Edit: the fraction is just that off. Like 3 is just 0.33333... off of 10/3.
Is this a 5 or 10 bit machine by chance? It's got a 5/8 rhythm to it, with a particularly loud operation happening every 5 beats. Might use it in a song some day.
Here is another video with the same algorithm, but with teletype output: ruclips.net/video/HqMfZEPkGQE/видео.html
I didn't know the sound of Pi was so intense, it has its own chase music.
That machine is just beautiful. I have watched the video of it running a dozen times and it still mesmerizes each time.
What a beautiful peace of equipment. Such an bruitforce combination of electrical and mechanical beauty.

Your computer has me ready to break out some drums. 😄

Shifting and substracting. This must be result of tens of years effort.
Respect.
Звуки реле и перемигивание светодиодов просто завораживают.
👍
Obviously this machine was properly “Debugged “ 😂 Love this demonstration of the electromechanical devices. 🎉
No doubt each relay comes in its own plastic enclosure.
3/4 2/4 2/4 3/4 3/4 3/4 2/4 3/4, and so on. This computer loves playing with time signatures
Maybe he has it wired to cut execution short for instructions that don't need all the time steps possible.
this sound definitely has loop-potential ^_^
It’s in 5/4 in case anybody’s wondering
ok, i want to watch this when you've turned the speed up to as fast as it can do and still be stable
it's amazing to see this in the 21st century!
I'm glad it was able to do that otherwise we may never have known the answer.
Is the rhythm of this considered the clock frequency?
That's right.
thanks for *relaying* this information
Really cool machine and it's interesting to see the output in binary.
This is my favorite Steve Reich song
This is like a primitive maraca that beat and that's why I like relays more than transistors now
Man that computer's laying down some epic beats bro
This is how computers in german federal offices sound.
Прикольная цветомузыка у вас )))
Скачал себе на флешку, в машине буду слушать :)
This computer may lack a GPU but definetively has sound capabilities
My grandfather had an old John Deere tractor that sounded like this.
As a tap dancer, I feel you bro
What is the name of the algorithm you used?
This is a digit-by-digit calculation of a fraction 355/113
Ahhh back in the time where computers are our slaves..now its in reverse hahaha
I hear music 🎶
Nice rhythm !
And awesome PC (personal computer)
If I can manage it, I would love to teach myself how to make something like this. Incredible!
same!
I’d like that beat
It sounds sooo satisfying 😍
We neee the 10hr version for sleep!
What a soothing sound of relays
It's actually a beat with light music
Energy use: yes
Time to calculate: yes
This sound like is fast steam engine.
Szaracén Zsákos yeah it kinda does
To think that today, the phone in our hands can do this same calculation trillions of times in the time it took this antique relay computer to do it once.
that's a good song
Something mesmerizing about hearing the computer crunch the numbers via its relay system.
Stand up for the computer anthem!
Fantastic
dancing in middle of my room in a very weird fashion
Would I recommend using this computer? No. It’s slow.
Would I recommend using this computer for calculations in the exam hall and to make music? Absolutely.
Incredible !!
What beautiful Melody
RUclips, why do you put such temptation in front of me? This is dork heroin right here
The devil is moving those relays 😂.
music!
1e-6 MIPS
Did you put LEDs inside the relay modules? That is so cool! I love blinkenlights!
There are relay modules with embedded LEDs.
@@Pavel.Dovgalyuk I didn't know they came with LEDs.
POV: Hans Zimmer composing the dark knight score
That's not a computer, it's a drum machine.
i am a simple man
i see relay, i like
i see pi, i like
oh, its dividing the hierarchical fraction approximation - still very nice rythm :)
cool beat, when is the guitar solo?
Out of all the sounds I expected, none of them were "Steam locomotive" lmao

I also like Minimal Techno...
And this is why the mechanical computer era never lasted more than a few years.
It was needed.
Mechanical computers were used on navy ships for more than 50 years…. mechanical calculators were used for 100 years….
@@PRH123 In specific applications, analog computers are useful, yes.
@@ijunkie This is digital, not analog. It’s just slow, that’s all.
Очень впечатляет! Однако, или реле старой конструкции, или их тысячи одновременно в работе?
Ну их не тысячи, а две-три сотни. Но это не герконовые реле, конечно.
Can't believe how slow it can be. Had to wait minutes for a digit to pop out.
Is this a rhytm machine? Nice Grooooooove!
5:55 is it coming down with the sickness?
Move aside pencil and paper. We've got time and kW to burn!
Oh, man. My mom loved Lord of the Dance, lol.
Ok this a really weird Javascript Library i'm gonna head out
Incredible! But can it run doom? Crysis?
It might be nice to have it make a sound every time it computes a new digit; may I suggest, the sound of a steam train whistle.
It’s got a beat you can dance to!
Why it calculates the wrong Number at the end?
Because it calculates a fraction, which is only the approximation of Pi.

It's a 8-bit machine, but every instruction consists of 10 clock ticks.
@@Pavel.Dovgalyuk how fast is the clock, since some relays can run reliably at 10hz
@@crazy_wwww one instruction takes about 2 seconds. Therefore clock frequency is about 5 Hz.
Huh interesting choice to display the LSB on the right instead of the left
56295141.3? LSB left seems more odd.
Sounds musical...
Any relation to Steve Reich or the Marble machine?
No, I haven't seen it.
i was really hoping for some bass to kick in
the quality of the relay must be very good :-)
Cool! But can it play Crysis? (I know..... tired old meme, but couldn't resist) ;) Have never seen one of these before.
Amazing. What is the clock speed ?
I don't remember. It seems like 0.5 instructions per second.
Somebody needs to duet this.
Мощьно
I feel like someone could rap over this.
Man that is soo cool❤️
cool!
About 10 Hz clock signal
That sound ❤️ (like train)
Alan Turing is smiling 😊
what is the size of the power supply on this thing?
There is a big rectangular module in the bottom of every unit of the computer.
Has anyone set this to music?
Music when?
What algorithm was used?
It is 355/113 fraction calculation.
На какой частоте работает?
Что-то вроде одной инструкции за две секунды.
Will it run crysis?
I'm gonna ask the age old question:
Will it run doom?
I was waiting for the base to drop...
Don't tell me it is slower than mechanical calculator. Isn't better to make ALU unit for that?
The computer already has ALU unit. It is built on relays too.
