China to Introduce New Integrated Circuit ( too bad, Intel )
A new integrated circuit allowing 1,000,000,000,000 simple, but very useful operations per second PER DOLLAR has been designed. It is programmed as a microprocessor is programmed, but allows much more varied and powerful instructions. A ten-thousand-dollar, stand-alone computer can, in practice, do 1,000,000,000,000,000 operations per second and 1,000,000,000,000 powerful and flexible instructions ( for example, compare a 64-bit representation with don't-cares to 128 similar representations or find all single jumps in a 128-bit checker game position ). It is a parallel processor suitable for very simple to supercomputer applications, especially related to artificial intelligence super computing.

An Evaluation Done in the U.S.
An evaluation by "Randy K. Young PhD" ( wisdom.arl.psu.edu ) follows:
If you have trouble contacting him, it's because the government threatened to revoke his clearance and jobs, after he went to them, after talking to me. Later, I barely had anything to do with him and they, immediately, did. (See the "Frequently-Asked Questions" section for related information.)
"Dear Roger,
Thanks for sharing your "processor concept" with me. After careful consideration, I believe that your idea has the potential to OUTPERFORM MICROPROCESSORS on a performance per cost basis. Your concept of creating [deleted] is unique and intrigueing. I have never observed a concept that is close to yours.
I believe that your idea will have significant impact on the Microprocessor/DSP industry if your concept is handled appropriately (marketing, manufacturing, programming, etc.). Although I have not "programmed" your [deleted] I respect your assessment that it can be easily programmed (and is comparable to programming a microprocessor); however, I believe that linkages (compilers/cross- compilers) to higher level programming languages is a significant issue and will impact any market penetration into "existing" microprocessor-based markets. Ease of replacement is a major consideration in "existing" market penetration (an end user will not be as willing to switch if he/she has to reinvest in software design and implementation).
Overall, my assessment is that your [deleted] is an ingenious idea with huge market potential. Your concept should be pursued rapidly to minimize copying and/or stealing of your ideas. Good luck!
Sincerely,
Randy K. Young
