What Cartilage Is and Is Not

#focus and say "no". At what I'm working on, there's no place yet to quantum computers, exciting photonics, and even deep reinforcement learning. Although I study these a lot, I do not consider them as major part of what this project is all about.

Cartilage is made of ordinary chips. Ordinary old-school cheap and available silicon. Cartilage uses battle-proven SerDeses that are good enough to implement a massively scalable NoC, but that's it. There's no additional bleeding-edge innovation behind what we have. We have a working massively scalable BREAKTHROUGH ambitious new chip architecture, that does just that: it innovates upon the Turing/von Neumann processor design, and solves ALL problems that design has introduced at the first place. We get rid of the call stack and get rid of multithreading. And we run the entire OS on the hardware level. So you reason about your reactive code the first time in the history of computer science in a non-messy way! It's definitely coming. No matter us, or someone will replicate these ideas, or even steal them.

Because these ideas are not anymore abstract, and we're seeking when this freaking CHIPS SHORTAGE ends that we can start giving value to our customers.

We call it the Final Chip, like in Final Fantasy. Because with such chip, you won't need to buy MANY OTHER chips. There will be no such thing as "chips shortage" anymore. You can integrate any special-purpose built GPU, TPU, neuromorphic, and whatnot--to crank numbers in an accelerated manner. But for massive volume of code mess that you are tired paying SALARY TO YOUR ENGINEERS, our chips will feel like Messiah. Because these chips will naturally be. And I'm not saying it as a selfish self-promoting marketing BS to convince you to pay attention.

I want you to NOTICE this amazing stuff BEFORE everyone else will accept it as a new "Thermonuclear Bomb Working." Do you want to join the XXI century's "Manhattan Project" and participate EARLY in making THE BOMB, or do you want to see us "blow up" the whole world later?

Because sooner or later, us, or somebody else, definitely WILL. Because I have proven that the new model of computation is REAL.

Come work with me. We have only real working stuff. With future plans and ideals of gradual focus on one thing at a time. Including democratizing silicon and PCB manufacturing. Including programmable matter. But new silicon chips running new model of computation with a new programming language, how simple is that?

Because next step will be to monetize it. To PUSH IT through "we're fine". Everyone is fine. We all are busy. Hard to notice game changers. Too much inertia. Global warming. Innovation. Paradigm shifts....

I wish you happiness, prosperity, luck, FUN!

Come work with me and let's make it funded--together. I won't offer this again when SALES START.
