Electronic Compute Systems, Inc., Announces The Re-Architecture Of The 41 Year Old Microprocessor & Software Operating System Based Personal Computer

Features and Benefits include: Instant On, 100 to 10,000 times faster at 1/10 clocking speed, Lower Power, Fewer Components, More reliable, Real time everything friendly, Immune to viruses, Bridgeable to x86 for extending legacy programs, Humble©.

Hardware Unified Multiple Branch Logic Engine (HUMBLE©), attempts to convey the new architecture innovation and value thereof all in one word. Essentially it is a compression of the well known microprocessor and windowing operating system into one chip without re-using either in any way shape or form. We assert it is the first genuine and practical alternative toward extending general purpose computing. The HUMBLE© PC proof of concept, also known as the HUMBLE© PC development system provides tangible evidence today toward extending, including, and performing many things dreamed (for years by many).

Background and details — The Humble© PC is based upon the same foundation which all computing engines rest. This implementation is a first introduction in this form. Quietly rethinking the whole past-present-future computing problem a new solution emerges . . . Learning from past and present technology and following wisdom as a guide, Humble© begins as such by removing the conventional microprocessor (uP) and conventional operating system (O/S) altogether. However, re-linkage to either or both as legacy-tandem options clearly remains possible. Thus, rather than presuming single, dual, or many microprocessors with exponentially increasing s/w complexity into an already burdened software time-multiplexed serial fetch-decode-execute architecture, Humble© performs these in complementary fashion thereby un-limiting the number of threads, un-limiting paralleling of applications, removing unnecessary coupling of time-multiplexed streams, achieving multiple execute-execute-execute, while exchanging exponential increasing complexity for linear, hence removing all the burdens, bottlenecks, and apparent brick walls. Humble© unifies threading, branching, scheduling, applications, etc. at the silicon level (rather than in disk-memory-resident-software) thereby producing 100s to 10,000s fold speedup coexisting with improved reliability and security (preventing virus entry altogether into the operating system, application programs and drivers . . .). Whilst these features and benefits are not possible in conventional software unified systems, they are possible in hardware unified systems. Advancement of technology slowly opened the window for this alternative during the recent 10 years. Utilizing a readily available (open) off the shelf general purpose field programmable motherboard, and an open language, the Humble© PC comes to life re-revolutionizing computing, minimally reminding us that solutions result from how well we have received Understanding (with a capital U). Present features and benefits are intended toward proof of these foundational concepts, and are not-limited by the concepts themselves nor by present technology. For example wireless features have not been implemented first as they are extensions of the basics. Hence wireless features are presently one of many opportunities for others to add. The application suite is also bare providing wide-open opportunity for others. In its present form, Humble© proves a better ‘core’ solution does exist now enabling true real-time-smooth-all-together-concurrency-fusion of multiple-forms-of-audio-telephony-television-gaming and computing including reliability, instant-on/off access, higher overall performance (bandwidth), lower power, and with much improved security, all built in. No new languages and no new silicon advances are required, rather a greater understanding of Understanding.

Question – What is meant by Hardware Unified? Answer – A conventional uP and O/S performs its operation through software control of hardware. Therefore we assert the software unifies all operations. All commands and system status are input ultimately to software and all actions/results are consequences of decisions made in (by) software. Hardware unification allows user commands to enter directly into hardware with status and decisions made directly by hardware. Thereby relegating storage of instructions to a memory of any sort including hard disk (fetched to a memory-cache – decoded and executed) as a legacy-optional method. In other words history will begin to record that instructions no longer need to be fetched from memory (or disk) . . . when using a Humble© PC.

Question – What is meant by Multiple Branch Logic Engine? Answer – Generally speaking, a conventional single uP with its O/S performs single branching wherein only the processor computes. From any one instruction to the next, the conventional uP and o/s typically can only branch from one instruction-point to another (within a program), or one instruction within a program to one instruction within another program. Humble© allows point to multi-point, process to multi-process, and program to multi-program branching wherein each may simultaneously compute with corresponding return. These are all performed without accessing a disk or memory for instructions (hence without associated delay). This kind of engine provides control for multiple concurrent io transactions and applications rather than multiplexing single io transfers and applications. Further, Humble© does not use a microprocessor nor derivative/variant thereof. NISC is a 2nd acronym helping describe Humble© further. See www.ecs-pc.com Frequently Asked Questions for a definition of NISC architecture with comparison to RISC and CISC.

Question – If Humble© has no microprocessor what does it have? Answer – Humble© has hardware that includes wires, logic, flipflops, and small block memories, etc. that do not include a microprocessor nor soft microprocessor. So, Humble© may be likened to a ‘core’ breakthrough without a new (or old) microprocessor as the core. Humble© successfully re-describes time multiplexed software programs (from scratch so as not to infringe on prior art) as hardware programs reaping benefits thereof. In other words we have discovered how to write all functions of a personal computer into ‘hardware programs’. This is evidenced and demonstrable via the available development system. See www.ecs-pc.com Frequently Asked Questions for more information . . .

The Humble© PC Development System features include – p/s2 mouse (3,4, 5 buttons) i/f, p/s2 multimedia keyboard (101,2,4) i/f, Dual ATA-6 ide (Hard Disk & CD-DVD-RW) i/f, Serial Port i/f (XModem, YModem, YModem Batch), 128G Compact Flash i/f, Floppy Disk i/f, 10/100/1000 Ethernet Phy, USB i/f, Linear Flash, 64|256MB SDRAM, 9|18Mb ZBT SRAM, Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA, Calendar and Timekeeping program, Calculator program, FAT 32 File-Browser program, Point and Click Graphics, Triple DES keyed battery backup protected Non-Volatile Graphical Operating System, Support for user programs, Re-Programmability. Benefits of the Development System include – Practical alternative for all real-time and general purpose computing products, Hardware Unified Multiple Branch Logic Engine, Multiple simultaneous 100MByte conversations, Instant On|Off, 100s to 10,000s fold program execution speedup, Familiar Graphics, Point and Click User Interface, O/S and Programs immune from viruses, Seamless-Smooth-Fusion, and Lower power.

Applications include – Personal Computers (Xilinx Virtex FPGA center-stage), Cloud Computers, Re-programmable System on Chip (rSoC), Communications (e.g. Cellular and Internet Telephones), Networking (e.g. Routers, Servers), High Complexity Robotics, All in one Integrated Automotive control , All in one Integrated Multimedia, Set-top-boxes, Voice recognition (in) and synthesis (out), on chip compilers, algorithm accelerators (e.g. fpga place and route accelerator, Java bytecode, JIT, and ahead of time interpreters), and a plethora of other embedded applications.

Hence, we summarily describe it as — new, genuine, legitimate alternative, with very bare program suite, recognizable, useful, ready for general purpose application development, wide-open, humble and ‘a huge financial opportunity’.

Development systems and Licenses are now available. The cost to reuse (license) Humble© is 99 U.S. dollars. The cost of a development system is 5000 U.S. Dollars. Humble also refers to our approach toward business. For more information, see our website at www.ecs-pc.com and YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_v6IaD6-Ts Electronic Compute Systems, Inc. is a privately held corporation based in Towson, Maryland. ECS hopes to sell 10 development systems over the next year.

Guide On Buying A Better UPS

Traditionally, Specifying requirements, and Purchasing the specified product are two main consecutive stages while procuring most industrial systems. Based on study results adding a Cost Oriented Reevaluation (COR) stage, can boost significantly ROI; always of prime importance, particularly with present economy.

Generally, specification aims for simplest solutions which meet users “must have” requirements. Main UPS parameters are Output power (SIZE), Type (topology) and Battery Backup time. Size is dictated by consumers which will be protected. Back up time and the types of the systems depend on the particular application.

Three dominant UPS types are offered by manufacturers. The Off-Line type solves outages and short-term grid disturbances; Line-Interactive type solves also Undervoltage and Overvoltage disturbances, whereas the On-Line type provides the best solution to all grid related disturbances.

The simplest, Off Line UPS, is recommended for protecting home computer applications. Line Interactive systems are used for small networks, implemented in stores, restaurants, small offices. On-Line systems protect high power, installations, data centers, on line service providers, industry, and other critical applications.

In the process of checking the pros and cons of On-Line versus Line interactive UPS for a particular project, UPSonNet found that some On-Line systems were cheaper, compared to equivalent Line Interactive types. Deeper investigation, suggested that the assumption of constant Price to Power ratio should also be questioned.

This led to performing a study of UPS market prices, from small 350VA size systems up to 120kVA installations. The research was based on market prices, of main brands like APC, Powerware, Tripplite as well as smaller good standing companies, and filtering the results by a weighting factor representing supplier’s market share.

The mentioned dual stage procurement method, of preparing technical specification to meet needed requirements, followed by a purchasing stage based on the technical specification is justified, assuming positive price to performance behavior and linear behavior of price to output power ratio.

The study violates these assumptions. A better UPS may cost less, while significantly higher power may have a slight effect on price. Market prices are affected by numerous factors, such as, technological innovations, strength and preferences of individual producers, popularity of certain power levels or certain brands, and more. Therefore, no price logic is obeyed when individual systems, are concerned.

UPS Industry Price List, presented on UPSonNet’s website displays the final study results. The information enables to rise beyond the individual system and see both the forest and the trees. It allows achieving optimal solution by analyzing each specific case, in order to deduce the impact of size and topology on system cost.

Research results call for additional Cost Oriented Reevaluation Stage, before the specification is confirmed and forwarded to purchasing department. The COR stage should investigate alternate solutions, and modify UPS specification for getting superior technical performance and better economical outcome.

Guiding steps on UPSonNet’s site, direct users how to use UPS Price List to gain significant advantages. COR implementation enables to achieve such benefits as system upgrading, extending output power, increasing back up time, introducing redundancy, and more, while decreasing system cost sometimes by almost 40%.

In conclusion, UPS market price study contradicts assumed correlation between cost and performance. Thus, practice of specifying the simplest UPS to meet requirements doesn’t provide lowest cost. Implementing COR enables maximizing ROI.
