Hello and i am running this topic to answer or have others answer your questions if I can't answer others please help but ask away people always want to help
Anyway I feel like I need a copy pasta response for this. Reply to threads, you aren't getting stickied and people don't find your thread to ask questions. They find this forum
OK, what is the largest practical ALU size? And can we make instant computers, now that we have instant gates, or will that not work?
Can only some components be instant? Can we make an instant RS-NOR? Full memory? ALU? Buses? What is the limit to instant computing?
is that even minecraft? well i will answer as if it is because it is supposed to be so ill list my answers
1. I dont even know what you mean
2. instant gates hmm i think if you tried quite likally
3. some componants have to not be instant or parts otherwise other parts cant properly compute parts
4. this is a quote i have no idea were it is from "there is only one limit the block limit"
To be fair, he claimed to understand redstone, not computing logic. I would make the same claim. I know redstone mechanics through and through and a lot of cirucit designs, etc, but I have never made a single adder, CPU, ALU or anything of the sort. I barely know what they do.
That being said, this thread IS useless because this entire subforum is meant for asking questions, we don't need to compress it all down into one thread.
thank you one person who understands that this is redstone not other things also this isnt the only thread like this i think (although i havent seen others)
OK, what new kinds of monostables, gates, T-Flip-Flops, etc. can be made with the latest redstone devices? What exactly doesn't work; is there a few specific things that don't work in 1.5, or what?

I have discovered a truly remarkable proof of this, which this margin is too small to contain.

well i feel right now you are just trying to say that i suck at redstone although i feel like it i dont i just dont understand these types of things though the best i can answer is some old things wont work now because of timing

I'm actually curious: What changed in the timing, exactly, and what does that allow?

I know this is a joke, but... The limit to instant computing is that while piston repeaters can turn off instantly, they will jam if you attemp to use them again before they "reset". So, you could theoretically make a computer with very low latency, but it could not get the clock cycle much higher (if at all) than repeater based computers.
You could partially skirt around this by having duplicate busses and modules so that you can send a signal down bus B while bus A is resetting, but your computer will greatly grow in volume (by it's origional size) for every duplicate you add. You wouldn't need multiple input/output devices, but you would need extra multiplexers to control what bus/module was used. And this wouldn't actually up the clock cycle so much as add parallel processing capability, which could be implemplemented better using conventional methods.
Theoretically, if you had instant multiplexers and built as many duplicates as the amount of ticks your clock takes to run, you could make a computer with a clock of 10Hz. This would be severely hampered by size, lag, the display, and many other things, though.

hmm i think i finaly understand mybe the slightest what the question was

You seem to be enjoying yourself...

well the only timing that i know is the pistons and i dont remember if its faster or slower i just keep reading in the snapshots its changed
