This is me doing science.
Hello. I spent last week in Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania at Intel ISEF - international (though 50 % of people there are from USA and the other half are "guests") science fair for young students with high school projects, where I presented my own project I created during high school - my experimental processor architectures, especially 2DWPU.
Intel ISEF is the biggest scientific event of its kind, the smartest people from the whole world get there. I represented my country (Czech republic) with my research project in Computer Science, against dozens of other projects in this category and managed to even get fourth grand award! ^^'
Which means cash prize, but it's also ticked to basically any prestigious university around the world and also shows, that Weird Processing Units caught interest of some people (not as much as some cancer research, that's always a big hit, but we can't all research cancer, can we) :3 I got a lot of experience and it was a wonderful week which I'm never gonna forget and it only solidified me with my resolve to do more things and more projects for the future, because as Intel's futurist Brian David Johnson said there, future is what WE make it and he knows it's gonna be awesome, because we (Intel ISEF finalists) will be making it, future scientists and engineers. And I already got a lot of plans, which I'll reveal in time, so keep tuned
(though on my personal website, as I don't really visit this forums much anymore)There's also swarm of press wanting to do interviews and such with me, so I'm a bit overwhelmed, here's one article about it, it's in Czech though, so use Google Translator or something.

Frooxius before he went to Intel ISEF wrote:It's finally here, this Saturday (12th May), I'll be flying to the USA, precisely to Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania to attend Intel ISEF as one of the finalist in the computer science field, with my experimental processor architecture and associated programming that I designed, implemented both as simulator (+compiler for the language) and physical chip (using FPGA) and developed some sample applications in it (always funny coding in your own experimental programming language for your own processor and then running it x3 ) to demonstrate its capabilities and advantages. The architecture I'll be presenting is 2DWPU, one of my WPU (Weird Processing Unit) series, follower of AttoWPU that already won me national round of a science fair.
Sorry that I was quite inactive lately, but must of my time was eaten with preparations for this big event (allegedly biggest scientific event for young scientists there is! Phew, now I don't feel nervous at all) and once it's done, I'll release more information about it as well as some video demonstrations, so you can see my scientific cooking with your own eyes! I'll be there from 13th May to 18th May and return at 19th late in the evening.
In short, my processor is capable of automatic scaling of algorithms and speeding up computations at instruction level in a very natural and straightforward manner, thanks to the alternative program flow: Simply put, it works quite differently than 99.999 % processors out there
And just for a bit fun, here's a little preview of my processor running in real-time as a HW chip with a simple demo app (it's not the organism one, I'm saving that for ISEF) :3

So thank you and wish me luck! ^^'
