San Diego, CA --

-- GBT Technologies Inc.
(OTC
PINK: GTCH)
("GBT", or the "Company"), announced
that
on
December
2, 2020 it filed a
non-provisional patent with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office ("USPTO") seeking to protect
certain intellectual property covering
a
new
approach of
Arithmetic
Logic Unit ("ALU")
microchip.
The
USPTO assigned application
number 17109889.
The microchip is
targeted to
perform mathematical and logical operations based on a new method.
Inside a computer, there is a microprocessor integrated
circuit (IC),
called CPU (Central processing Unit). The CPU is the primary IC of
a computer, commonly referred
to as thee brain
of a
computer. Its task is to process
instructions in order to run programs. It runs the computer's
operating system or OS
(for
example:
Linux) and other computer
programs. The CPU receives input from the user or programs,
processes the data and produces an output. The output can be
displayed on a screen or stored in mediums like memory and hard
drives. Within the CPU, typically there is an ALU, which performs
arithmetic and logical operations. In a way, the ALU is the
"calculator" part within the computer. The CPU chip transfers
numbers from a memory into the ALU for calculation and the results
are sent back to the memory. An ALU is typically designed to
calculate many different operations and the entire computer
system's speed depends on its capability to execute arithmetic and
logic operations. When the operations become more complex, ALUs
have to become more advanced and powerful to ensure the
performance of
the entire system. In
some processors, the ALU is divided into two units, an arithmetic
unit (AU) and a logic unit (LU).
In order to
achieve faster
performance some processors contain more than one
ALU. An
example
of this
is an ALU
for fixed-point
operations and another included
for
floating-point operations. The ALU is a critical block within the
CPU since the entire computer system's performance depends on
the performance of
the Arithmetic/Logic
operations. Modern CPUs have multiple ALUs with
a
capability for
applying multi-processing operations in order to increase their
throughput. GBT's
patent
application seeks to
cover a new ALU system and
method with the goal
of
increasing the
speed
of
instruction handling,
arithmetic and logic computing processes. GBT believes that
using
multi-ALUs will increase
CPU
performance and in turn
potentially lead to new, powerful
computing systems and architectures. The presented concept includes
new architecture circuitries
and data
flow to be executed in a specific way
with the
goal of achieving higher
processing speed. The patent
application covers ALU
instructions that can be executed individually and/or in
parallel.
"Our computing world
is in a constant need for performance growth and vast engineering
efforts are made in order to enable faster computing systems.
Microchip technology, which directly dominates computing power,
affects nearly every aspect of our lives, including medicine,
communication, security and business interactions. We are
witnessing constant advancements in the IC arena
that lead
to extraordinary increase in computer performance. Microprocessor
companies are in a constant race to design multi-core CPUs in order
to provide faster computing power for the constant demand. But we
need to think further. We need to push the limits into new
paradigms in order to achieve a major leap in computing power,
given the fact that we are still limited by the physical
restrictions of electrons moving through matter"
stated
Danny
Rittman, GBT's Chief Technology
Officer. "Since arithmetic
and logic operations within microprocessors are the crucial factors
for speed, we developed a new approach to the
ALU.
This
new
system and method introduces a different circuitry
and
machine language (Flow) with the goal
of performing
a much
faster computation in an efficient algorithm, without any change in
the computer hardware. We are seeking
to introduce a different
approach in the basic ALU calculations handling, that offers a
possible way to make computers faster through
parallel
processing and pre-computation instructions execution, in order to
achieve higher computing efficiency. We are taking into
account the basic, traditional ALUs design concepts and changing
them into out-of-the-box methodologies, so we can devise new kinds
of arithmetic/logic operations that we believe
are
more efficient for
computations. We are aiming to break the ultimate limitations of
our traditional, decimal/binary approach within ALU by introducing
new calculation methods. In
order to keep up with the growing demand for high performance
computing, hardware engineers are looking to alternatives like
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Tensor Processing Units (TPUs)
which are mainly based on parallel computing to execute more
instructions at once rather than do basic operations faster. As
Moore's Law is fading away,
high performance computing will require a conceptual shift. As part
of our R&D constant efforts to find new methods to improve our
computing world, especially for advanced machine learning
algorithms, we are seeking to
develop
new ideas with the goal
of enabling
high
performance Arithmetic/Logic processing. The patent
application seeks
to protect a system and
method. In parallel to filing the patent application,
we plan to design an experimental, proof-of-concept microchip and
test
its
performance against
traditional ALUs."
