<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a computer architecture, hardware and a method for eliminating the need for an operating system. <P>SOLUTION: A hardware/firmware layer comprising a device manager, an information manager, a memory manager, and a process manager 610, 620, 630, 640 contained in one or more semiconductor chips is disclosed. The hardware/firmware layer eliminates the need for an operating system. Each of the managers comprises a microcontroller 612, 622, 632, 642 associated with a firmware embedded in ROM or Flash memory. The ROM or Flash memory contains instruction sets 614, 624, 634, and 644 that cause the microcontroller to provide a designated task of device management, information management, memory management and process management. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
