Using LSI processor bit-slices to build a PDP-11
Thomas McWilliams, Samuel H. Fuller, Will Sherwood · 1977
In this article we give the design and evaluation of the CMU-11: a fully operational implementation of the PDP-11 computer architecture built with Intel 3000 Schottky bipolar microcomputer bit-slices. This project was initiated to test in detail the claims that LSI processor bit-slices simplify the design of microprogrammed processors. The CMU-11 executes approximately 240,000 instructions per second, which is about 63 percent the speed of the PDP-11/40 and twice the speed of the LSI-11.
