Subj : Writing a distributed VM for my own virtualized-only ISA

So I decided that I would write a small distributed VM for my own
virtualized-only instruction set (I don't know what I would have called it,
D-ISA?). I started writing it today as to see if I could make something cool
(which I have done before and I know I can).
It is written/being written in Java.
Basically the processing is executed on the main machine where DVM is being run
and then assignments to memory segments are handled by the DVM which shards
them accross to the configured nodes. That is the idea basically. I still need
to finish writing the specification and have only written some basic interface
for command-line arguments and verifying them but when I have more time I will
move quicker. Just don't want to rush the ISA design as it is something I want
to be concise and non redundant - modular is what I mean.
What I need to create once this is done is a program to encode instructions
into the ISA or simply write bytes to disk using Python's REPL (which may be
better for testing as I wouldn't want to rush writing yet another program for
encoding DVM programs).
Anyway. I will post updates here about it.
I like trying out things like this as it's just fun and I will post updates
when I can.
