@Skull and Bones
thanks for the info... lets see if we can have a meet when you come to india.
1. we have limited the number of user tasks that can be run on the processor... and then added os-level tasks which continuously monitor status bits in the very few i/o interfaces, and raise os-level interrupts which will be handled by user-level threads... this latter method is similar to the user-level "interrupt service threads" in qnx os.
2. the os is hybrid architecture ( mix of microkernel and monolithic ).
3. the i/o system has been designed around the processor, and not the other way around... for example, user-input - via stylus - is continuously monitored... so there is no high-load effect on the os.
these things and others have enabled removing the need for hardware interrupt pins and processor support for them.
i didn't understand which specific tasks would be slowed down.
so app-making is as non-intellectual as "creating" yet another distribution of linux...
in june i resigned from a media company to continue my portable computer project which i had started in 2008... the project includes the clock-less microprocessor... the project is part of a overall socialist project... but apologies, i can't share the names and more details of the project on this site, though you should look at the previous posts above, between me and "skull and bones".
i will ask webmaster temporary permission to send a private message to you and skull, and exchange our mail ids to continue discussion.
skull says that he would be coming to india mid-december... maybe i can meet him then and discuss more with you.
but what i also told him is that we are trying to raise money to buy a fpga board to demonstrate the processor's prototype.
