PyXL: Running Python in Hardware, 480ns GPIO Roundtrip
2025-04-28
PyXL is a custom hardware processor that executes Python directly in silicon, eliminating the need for an interpreter or JIT compiler. It compiles Python code into custom assembly and runs it on a custom pipelined processor. Tests show a stunning 480ns GPIO roundtrip time, over 30x faster than MicroPython. This makes PyXL ideal for high-performance applications demanding real-time responsiveness and deterministic timing, such as real-time control systems, ML inference, and robotics.
