Introducing Robert Mykland

[Robert Mykland]

Hi Folks!

My name is Robert Mykland, and I am basically an inventor.  A friend
mentioned this list to me, and I joined it because it proposes several
topics of interest to me, mostly the computing topics.

For these last seven years my team and I have been working on a
revolutionary new general purpose computer processor architecture that
is hundreds of times faster than today's general purpose computer
architectures.  We have several generations of hardware simulations, a
prototype compiler, and we will complete our first production C compiler
within the next few months.  If people are interested, I'm happy to send
out a more detailed description of our work.

Since our compiler turns an unbounded stream of tiny instructions (the
output of a conventional software compiler) into an unbounded stream of
finite hardware circuits (the output of our compiler), it seems to me
that the opportunities to optimize the code produced by this compiler
are pretty much infinite, so there's a complex problem for you.  I
expect I will have questions about some of these optimizations that
folks on this list could shed some light on.

Cheers,

-- Robert.

It sounds very interesting, please do!

The advantage over a FPGA is that it can reprogram much faster?

So there are 128 l6 bit logic units running at 250 Mhz?  That sounds
like it should be peak about 10 times faster than say a 3.2 Ghz CPU on
similar serial operations, or maybe about the same as a Cell running on
all SPUs?

Thanks!

So you are using LLVM?   (I see Ascenium mentioned on the LLVM website.)
