OOP was badly overblown in the 1990's and the functional-programming
community takes a dim view of it these days, but it's a reasonable
approach for something like a GA144 emulator.  The idea is you've got a
bunch of data structures (representing F18A nodes) that support similar
operations, but whose specific implementations come in several flavors.
For example, each node has one or more i/o ports, but while the interior
nodes have four such ports, the ones at the edges may have less than
four.  And ports facing other nodes are implemented as communications
channels between the nodes, but exterior ports can go to i/o pins, d/a
converters, etc.  You'd implement that as a class supporting all the
operations, with some of them delegated to subclasses that implement the
different variants while inheriting the shared operations.

Regarding your issues with GA144 instruction timing: I think GA never
expected people to press the chip timing to its limits.  They figured it
was fast enough to cover a wide range of uses.  There are of course lots
of other uses for which there is no such thing as "fast enough".  The
range you're concerned about, close to the boundary between "not quite
fast enough" and "just barely fast enough", is very narrow and it's
surprising that any particular application (such as yours) falls in it.
