๐Ÿงช GPIO round-trip at 480ns Python, in hardware. 480ns GPIO. No interpreter. No C. Just PyXL. TL;DR โšก PyXL runs Python directly in hardware โ€” no VM, no OS, no JIT. โ€” no VM, no OS, no JIT. ๐Ÿงช A GPIO roundtrip takes 480ns on PyXL vs. ~15,000ns on PyBoard (MicroPython). on PyXL vs. ~15,000ns on PyBoard (MicroPython). ๐Ÿ“‰ PyXL is 30x faster than MicroPython โ€” or 50x when normalized for clock speed. than MicroPython โ€” or when normalized for clock speed. ๐ŸŽฅ The video demo shows both systems in action on real hardware. ๐Ÿ’ก This isn't a C trick โ€” it's actual Python executed in silicon . . ๐ŸŽฏ Deterministic timing, real-time behavior, and sub-microsecond precision โ€” in Python. ๐Ÿ”— More at runpyxl.com โ€” contact link at the bottom. What is PyXL? PyXL is a custom hardware processor that executes Python directly โ€” no interpreter, no JIT, and no tricks. It takes regular Python code and runs it in silicon. A custom toolchain compiles a .py file into CPython ByteCode, translates it to a custom assembly, ... Read full article.
