DekatronPC

A vacuum tube and cold-cathode tube based computer

Dekatrons

Сan do +1 and -1 operations by desing, so they are best devices for brainfuck instruction set.

As a next generation of BrainfuckPC, DekatronPC should have next characteristics:

• 8 instructions - pure brainfuck only without RLE;
• 1M Instruction Pointer counter;
• 30K Address Pointer Counter;
• 256 data counter;
• Harvard architecture;
• Up to 50kHz clock;
• RAM size - 30 000 bytes;
• RAM device - ferrite core memory;
