A TRON processor is any processor with a core based on the free specifications defined by the Japanese TRON Project, an acronym for: The Real-time Operating system Nucleus. The processors are to be the main hardware building block of the TRON Hypernetwork (Highly Functional Distributed System: HFDS), the final goal of the TRON Project. These CPUs use a VLSI (very large scale integration), 32-bit CISC (complex instruction set computer) architecture. Using CISC minimizes the object code size of programs to minimize RAM (random access memory) needs and cost. Several versions exist, made by different firms, mainly for embedded systems, often as cores for devices based on ASIC/ASSP (application-specific integrated circuit, application-specific standard product).
