Private & Confidential Agenda The hardware upheaval and the von Neumann Bottleneck Possible Solution using a Parallel DIME™ network computing model with telecom grade trust Parallax – A potentially new Operating System (OS) Proof of concept demo 2 The history of the evolution of current OSs is filled with lessons on wasted billions (does anyone remember Multics or OS2?), unmet expectations (who would have thought UNIX, the original System V, would vanish), surprise winners (Windows and Linux), and stealthy survivors (Mach in a Mac)

Private & Confidential Lessons From Biology "The basic principle of dealing with malfunctions in nature is to make their effect as unimportant as possible and to apply correctives, if they are necessary at all, at leisure. In our dealings with artificial automata, on the other hand, we require an immediate diagnosis. Therefore, we are trying to arrange the automata in such a manner that errors will become as conspicuous as possible, and intervention and correction follow immediately." --- John von Neumann, "The General and Logical Theory of Automata", John von Neumann Collected Works, Edited by A. H. Taub, Volume 5, p 289 (Hixon Symposium 1948) "It's very likely that on the basis of philosophy that every error has to be caught, explained, and corrected, a system of the complexity of the living organism would not run for a millisecond." --- von Neumann, Theory of Self- Reproducing Automata (1948) at the Hixon Symposium, Pasadena, California 10
