Hi,
Flowcode version is made to be made to Parallax Propeller?
Very well could be used Flowcode with the processor's capabilities.
8 cores VGA hardware support 80MHz clock simple programming hardware, etc..
There is already a GCC compiler to the processor.

Re: Flowcode Parallax Propeller chip
Hello,
I have been interested by the Propellor range of microcontrollers for a while now. The only potential downside to them is the 8-core nature meaning you essentially would need up to 8 standard Flowcode programs, one to run on each core. One thing we could potentially do is allow macros to run in their own threads (i.e. on their own core) but this would involve things like adding mutex's and semaphores to allow the threads to talk and synchronise with each other. This would essentially be the start of Flowcode for real time and maybe a good option for the future.

Hello
The cog 0 cog starts all cogs.
The easiest would be if a hardware interrupt may be initiated as a flowchart of the new processor cores. Flowcode program so basic, not much would change.
The simulation work is time-sharing (do not know what the correct term) than when a timer interrupt.
