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.

1060 Research is pleased to announce the release of 1060 NetKernel v3.0.0 Preview 1.

NetKernel 3.0.0 is a comprehensive update ranging from small optimisations to the kernel through to large scale enhancements to higher-level libraries. In addition this distribution incorporates all of the previous updates to the 2.x.x distribution's modules.

This is the first preview release, it is production stable though not feature complete - hence the "preview" label.

Highlights

There are many new features from tools to language runtimes, highlights include:

o Python becomes a first-class language with
-Full support for modules containing either scripts or classes or both
-Python modules are compiled and stored in bytecode form inside the NetKernel cache
-Dependency checking so that scripts and their results are invalidated and recompiled if a module's source is edited.
-Imports working from within NetKernel address space rather than filesystem
-Both relative and absolute import resolution
-Error handling integrated into NetKernel's stack traces (i.e. python stacktraces appear properly format inside a NetKernel exception)
o NetKernel Foundation API now provides an asynchronous accessor base class to support non-blocking services and thread reuse.
o Tool enhancements include detailed reporting of dependencies in the trace tool and debugger. Status report has been enhanced.
o Resource dependency algorithm has been optimized and now linearly accumulates costs.
o RDBMS module provides CLOB support and now supports result set streaming.
o JAXP 1.3 XML libraries - all XML technologies are now migrated with forward compatibility to JDK1.5
o All internal module libraries have been updated to use stable public releases including XQuery, XSLT2, XForms, Scripting Languages, XML Object Models.

Release Schedule

This distribution is a stable preview, the kernel is stable as are the modular service libraries - it is safe to build and deploy applications using the shipped modules. Applications and services built on the 2.0.x distribution may also be deployed on this distribution.

We still have new modules to add including a reworked administrative back-end, updated documentation and tutorials, cosmetic look-n-feel and new technology support including RDF and LDAP modules. These additions are peripheral and will not materially affect applications built on this distribution.
