June 14, 2007, Bristol, UK - 1060(R) Research, Ltd is pleased to
support the Climate Savers Computing Initiative (CSCI).
CSCI's goal is to deliver commitments to reduce energy
consumption by computer hardware. Focusing attention on
computational energy use is in complete alignment with 1060
Research's corporate and social commitment to energy efficient
computation. 1060 Research delivers on this commitment through
innovation and technology embodied in software in 1060(R)
NetKernel(TM). Focusing on the energy required for computation at
the software level is a new approach that has led to dramatic
savings across all hardware. NetKernel is a software-based
resource-oriented computing platform and application server that
automatically minimizes the energy required to process
information.
"NetKernel utilizes a fundamentally new computing abstraction
that minimizes the thermodynamic cost of computations. Software
solutions built on NetKernel dynamically and automatically find the
lowest energy for any given information process.", says Peter
Rodgers PhD, Physicist and CEO of 1060 Research. "Reducing
computational energy costs at the software level has a huge impact
on the overall system. Quite simply, the greenest computing is not
to compute at all. NetKernel recognizes this by actively
eliminating unnecessary computations producing dramatic energy
efficiencies. The other side of the coin is that an energetically
optimal software infrastructure also gives the highest net
performance." adds Rodgers.
1060 Research is the originator of Resource Oriented
Computing (ROC), a computing model focused on the logical
processing of information resources. In experimental lab conditions
and in practical everyday use by customers, NetKernel supporting
ROC is consistently shown to significantly minimize computational
energy costs.
About NetKernel
NetKernel is a resource-oriented computing platform built on
micro-kernel architecture that extends and combines concepts seen
in Unix and the Web. NetKernel is built using JavaTM and
runs on any operating system supporting Java 1.4.2 or later. It
provides advanced technology that makes building powerful,
energy-efficient software simple and less expensive.
NetKernel 3.2 is offered for use with either the 1060 public
open-source license or commercial license.
