<div> </div>
<div>1) The paper describes steps on the higher level (eg. implement division by chain subtraction). Are there any rigid rules that have to be followed (eg. surviving flow diagrams from the WITCH design stage), or we can use the paper as the guideline and implement WITCH according to that (improvise based on more modern architectures)?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2) As for the input-output, in the project you say that the abstract classes should be implemented so that later actual hardware can be connected to WITCH. What are the concrete IO systems WITCH should support at the end of GSoC? I was thinking file IO for testing. Other IO types can easily be reduced to file IO. Should IO system run in its own thread/s?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3) Should the control unit be implemented in software, or virtual hardware?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4) Should trains of pulses be shown, or sending a number they represent down the line object is enough?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>5) You mentioned that hooking a simulator to the GTKWave should suffice. As the goal of this project is educational, I was thinking (if there is enough time) of making GUI in eg. QT. I am artistically challenged, but drawing lines and circles should suffice for Dekatrons.</div>
