Esção(n~m~p)

Esção(n~m~p) is an old "new" computer architecture proposal. Its purpose is to eliminate Von Neumann's bottleneck.

Its hence referred as Old "new" as it is a new approach to an old-fashioned computer architecture.

Esção is a Portuguese acronym which stands for Engenharia de Sistemas de Computação Automatizada Otimizada (Optimized Automated Computing Systems Engineering).

As it presents an asynchronous nature, Esção(n~m~p) machines can also be used to implement Asynchronous Computers or Clock independent Computers.

• Histórico da Transformada Numérica (Portuguese)

Most of our development stays at sourceforge CVS at:
http://escao.cvs.sourceforge.net/escao/

The article A Solution of the General Model for a Digital System tries to explain how Esção works.

There are also a couple of excellent papers written in Portuguese by Dr. Leo Weber:

• POR QUE UM CIRCUITO COMPUTACIONALPODE TRABALHAR SEM RELÓGIO?
• Aplicação da Transformada Numérica na resoluçãode problemas da álgebra booleana
• CONVERSOR ANALÓGICO-PARA-DIGITAL?IMPLEMENTADO POR UMA ARQUITETURA COMPUTACIONAL ASSÍNCRONA
• ESPECULAÇÃO SOBRE ALGUMAS VANTAGENS DA ASSOCIAÇÃO ENTRE UMA ARQUITETURA COMPUTACIONAL ASSÍNCRONA E A LÓGICA FUZZY
• DESENVOLVIMENTO DA COMPUTAÇÃO E DA ARQUITERURA COMPUTACIONAL ASSÍNCRONA

You can get more on "Computers without Clocks" (or Asynchronous Computers) on http://www.sciam.com/ and http://research.sun.com/.

The Esção project is hosted by the Source Forge.
