Ascenium’s patented technology breaks through the multi-year plateau in computing performance by processing circuits derived from a user’s existing unedited source code. This allows them to scale their processor flexibly by adding simple blocks that execute the circuits, and that can be reconfigured in nanoseconds. Their approach enables the elimination of much of the complexity and transistor cost of standard approaches, including deep pipelining and runtime functionality such as dynamic translation, instruction fetch and execution, branch prediction, renaming, and re-ordering.
