Continuously Xccelerating Innovation

ElementCXI was formed to take the next architectural step and to provide a new computing methodology where non-hardware engineers can easily, quickly and inexpensively design very flexible and upgradeable systems that allow end-users to customize products to their specific requirements. ElementCXI’s technology does the following:

OEM ease-of-use for fast application development
CXI uses an all-software programming model based on existing 3rd party design tools and front-end compilers. Utilizing a true HWOS, the system automatically reuses resources and controls hardware loading, task management and flow control at chip speeds. This greatly reduces the complexity, makes the architecture easy to understand and decreases the amount of overall software code. It also offers the ODM/OEM a much shorter time-to-market and application development cycle and a system that is highly flexible and upgradeable allowing them to continuously accelerate the delivery of customer innovations.

Multi-dimensional scalability
Historically, scalability meant multiple ICs can be designed into one system; without regards to the amount of effort. At CXI, scalability has several dimensions:

- A CXI application will run on any number of ICs in the system (from 1 to 100’s), will run on different sizes ICs, and even different product families; all automatically with no additional design work.
- The CXI architecture scales across computing models (SIMD, MIMD, data flow, systolic arrays, parallel processing, etc) so most forms of computing can be accomplished in parallel.
- The CXI architecture is equally efficient across multiple solutions, meaning, as an example, any number of DCTs (1-1000) each run at exactly the same efficiency.

The 3 R’s – Robustness, Resilience and Reliability
The nature of the architecture resists any potential failure (robustness) and, when a hard or soft failure occurs it self-heals (resilience) creating a fault tolerant system - at no added cost. This is the true definition of reliability (not PPM rates) enabling fully adaptive and durable end-products. Other, natural by-products of the 3 R’s include high security, the lowest IC production cost, and the foundations for effectively using future memory technologies, nanotechnologies and adaptive biological systems.

Beat an ASIC for the same functionality
Due to ElementCXI’s extremely fast adaptation rates rate and unique architecture, their IC will provide lower power consumption, higher performance and lower overall costs than can be obtained from an ASIC design for the same functionality.

No other technology seems capable of offering these benefits.
