NAND-16: A Computer Built Entirely From NAND Gates

Original: NAND-16: a computer built from 277,248 NAND gates

A new project called NAND-16 has drawn attention for constructing a working 16-bit computer using nothing but 277,248 NAND gates, the simple logic element from which all digital circuits can in principle be made. Readers are discussing the engineering feat and what it illustrates about how complex computing emerges from a single primitive component.

Why now: The sheer scale and purity of building a computer from a single type of logic gate is a striking technical achievement that resonates with the engineering community.
