This research aims to develop a complete software stack for balanced ternary computing using new principles.
Developed ManiT, a systems language with trit-native types.
Created maniTC to compile through balanced-ternary SSA to two backends: LLVM IR and T3ISA.
Utilized differential testing across two backends to evaluate output consistency.
18 of 20 shipped programs are byte-identical across backends.
T3ISA produces 1.6–2.2× fewer assembly lines than LLVM IR for the same source code.
Identified two defects previously unnoticed in a 313-test suite through cross-backend testing.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Randomized trial evaluates software stack performance in balancing ternary systems, suggesting efficiency gains.

Manish Thatte (2026) studied this question.
