The Mill...

Geek: The Mill...  Reader and friend Doug W. passed this fascinating development along: a project to redesign digital computers by rethinking them from the ground up.  You may have to work at finding things on that site; those guys are spending their time on hardware design, not web site design :)

The photo at right is of Ivan Godard, who seems to be the principal hardware designer involved.  He reminds me of the LOTR movie's Gandalf, especially when I hear him in the videos...

The project is well underway as a stealth commercial effort, but they're disclosing pieces of the design as the patents get filed.  I've listened to three of the talks so far, and read quite a bit of the material they've published – there are lots of interesting ideas here for anyone interested in hardware design to gnaw on.  The central idea is called “The Mill”, and the more you know about it, the more powerful the idea seems.

Hackaday has more (in a less technical form)...
