The AVRs, at least some of them, have reasonable Flash and RAM and EEPROM (v nice), and a single-instruction multiply. Much nicer than the 8-bit CPUs that I used to program back in days of yore...


>a single-instruction multiply

But not single cycle ;)

This is important!


MUL/MULS/FMULS are all two cycles, to be exact.


OK, thank you for the correction!

Still a lot faster than a bunch of shift+add!


Pff, look at the fancy people over here!
