Wild & Scenic Film Festival cooks up a food theme (The Union)
Posted on December 24, 2009 Categories: Online No comments yet
There is no farmer film more impressive than the story of the Dervaes family. Needing good farmer stories is basic, almost like needing food.
The film "Homegrown" tells the story of a farm scrunched around a 1500-square-foot home less than a mile from downtown Pasadena. It butts next to the intersection of Interstates 210 and 134. They grow about 6000 pounds of food in a year on one tenth of an acre. There's also a goat and some chickens.
The popular term is low carbon footprint, and the Dervaes family have been intensely active in this regard for 20 years. Their commitment, however, seems to be more fundamentally fueled by a dedication to self-sufficiency. Jules Dervaes and his children, Justin, Anais, Jordanne, live and work at a modest yet ambitious ideal. Their shared devotion includes the evolving direction of papa Dervaes and his grown children.
Their bounty includes being satisfied with fresh produce that's in season and generating satisfaction from the kitchen labors that follow their farming labors. It includes struggling for money when the cost of watering their compact crop rises significantly and restaurants buy less from them in a struggling economy.
Just the name of the film, "Homegrown," and the name of their Web site, www.pathtofreedom.com, tells you much about the Dervaes family. They are inspirational. Most people will not walk the talk as thoroughly as they do, but they are an exemplary family.
The pastoral way the film "Farm for the Future" ponders the daunting problems of our times is refreshing. Rebecca Hosking had left the family farm. When she returned, she was concerned. How could she make farming work?
Hosking strolls her home ground. She visits farmers and other local experts. She chats about solutions that embody the simplicity, charm, serenity, and other characteristics generally attributed to rural areas. Those words define pastoral.
Hosking doesn't harp on the unsustainable exploitations and ill effects in our modern world, but she reflects a post-modern quandary. Food is drenched in oil dependence. Oil runs the farm equipment. Crops run on herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers – all manufactured with oil and from oil. Oil transports foodstocks to factories and to distant market shelves.
There's no doubt. The costs of oil will rise. There's no doubt. Oil will become increasingly scarce.
Hosking chats with farmers who are intimately engaged with low-tech, old-style (pastoral) implementations. Like pastures with multiple species of grass that make grazing land thicker and more hardy. Like soil that isn't plowed and monocultured literally to death. Like diverse and layered woodlands and gardens teeming with cycles of naturally regenerative, food-bearing life.
Curiously, the biggest problem with the farms for the future will not be the scarcity of oil. That will simply be a fact. The biggest problem may be a scarcity of farmers. In Hosking's film, we are at least introduced to some thinking, practicing, future-minded role models.
About your food, you think your awareness has been raised enough, don't you? Life is tough enough, and what can you do about it anyway?
The film "Food, Inc." plays the democracy card more than once. "Vote to change this system three times a day." What system? The system controlled by a few multinational corporations, that lobbies against informing consumers about what's in the food supply, about how animals and workers are treated. The system that shuts farmers down if they don't kowtow to corporate practices. The system where government subsidizes hamburgers and soda pop to be cheaper than fruits and vegetables.
Voting your food dollar does have an effect. WalMart no longer sells milk with rBST growth hormone in it. They heard the vote of the consumer. You say you don't shop at WalMart. The CEO of Stonyfield Farms (the third largest yogurt company) suggests that big sales of healthy and environmentally respectful products through WalMart squeezes out millions of dollars of sales of products that are less healthy and respectful.
Wherever you buy food, vote.
"Food, Inc." does spend most of its time on the travesties of corporate exploitation of life and culture. But when the presentation is especially good, as it is in this film, it behooves you to spend 90 minutes with its well outlined awareness raising.
Chuck Jaffee: You have a well established career as a TV and film editor. Say something about taking on this documentary project as director as well as being the editor.
Robert McFalls: Most documentaries are "found" in post [after the filming has been done], so the editor is an important part of authorship. The director is more the driver than the editor. Editing suits my personality. With documentary editing, you get to be more of a storyteller.
CJ: How is it that you know the Dervaes family and got to make this film about them?
RM: I was looking for a project I wanted to do. I read an article about them. I liked the family aspect of their story. I contacted them.
CJ: What did you want the film to do?
RM: It seems like the economy and energy and environmental things are coming together in a way that it's possible we're going to have to do more of the kind of things the Dervaes family is doing, that we'll have to get more back to our roots. Most people are just a few generations removed from being farmers.
CJ: What do you think makes the Jules Dervaes tick?
RM: Jules is a true believer, down the line. For telling a story, it's good to have a person who's true and driven by it. And yet, he's vulnerable and warm. He's a great character.

La familia que produce miles de kilos de comida en el patio de su casa (BBC Mundo)


Some organizations such as MOPAWI (Agency for the Development of The Mosquitia) have contributed to the development of sustainable agriculture and agroforestry, encouraging crop diversification and providing training and technical assistance for cocoa, bananas, basic grains and family gardens. Despite the efforts and progress made, the farmers are claiming for sources of local technical assistance to improve agricultural production.
The access to Wampusirpi, the town where training of plant doctors took place, takes 5 hours in 'pipante' (boat) or 25 minutes in small plane traveling from Puerto Lempira. The itinerary of flights of the plane varies according to the demand and the climatic conditions.
A presentation of the Plantwise programme actions in Honduras made to the Food Security Board of the G16 group in 2017, opened the door to a new partnership between CABI-Plantwise and Help in Action Foundation (AeA), a Spanish NGO that is implementing the Prawanka program to improve living conditions in the Mosquitia.. Prawanka means 'encounter' in the misquita language. An MoU was then signed between CABI and AeA for implementing plant clinics in this region.
Given the importance of agriculture in the area and the limitations to access technical assistance, Plantwise was seen as an excellent option to provide assistance to families in the region, allowing farmers to have access to regular technical advice from local 'plant doctors' who are connected to national and international networks of experts. AeA seeks to create a culture of consultation and learning in the Misquito farmers to guarantee the productivity of their crops, thus ensuring their food security.
A group of sixteen technicians from municipalities, Territorial Councils, personnel associated with the Prawanka program and leading farmers from the communities of Ahuás, Brus Laguna and Wampusirpi, participated in the course "How to become a plant doctor ", taught by Eduardo Hidalgo from CABI, in the community of Wampusirpi, in June 2018.
The participants were taught to recognize the symptoms of the main groups of causal agents of plant health problems: fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses, phytoplasmas and nutritional deficiencies in various plants. The course prepares the technician to perform quick diagnosis and give a practical and effective recommendation for the control of the phytosanitary problem, such as black palm weevil, red ring nematode in coconut and other pests that limit the production of basic grains in the region. The participants also learned to use tools such as the Plantwise factsheet library (a free application available in Google Apps) and the diagnostic tools available on the Plantwise Knowledge Bank platform.
At the end of the training, the 16 new plant doctors joined the WhatsApp national support network consiting of 30 plant doctors and SENASA (National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality) specialists in other regions of the country.
The knowledge of local technicians combined with the new tools and methodologies learned during the course provide the new plant doctors with the opportunity to become a much needed source of regular technical assistance to farmers in the region, backstopped and guided by the diagnostics network (WhatsApp group), CABI-Plantwise and Prawanka.
At the end of the course it was agreed to establish 3 plant clinics to be located in the municipalities of Ahuás, Brus Laguna and Wampusirpi, and run by the plant doctors of each community. The participants were trained in the use of an application that will allow them to register the farmer queries online in order to generate a database of the main phytosanitary problems in The Mosquitia. This will guide the preparation of suitable extension materials and the planning of management strategies focused on the priorities of the area.
The accompaniment of Prawanka to improve access to technical assistance in the region is essential and will contribute to the development of a regional support network to improve agriculture and welfare of farmer families in The Mosquitia.

Cincinnati Reds sign outfielder Ender Inciarte
The Cincinnati Reds have signed outfielder Ender Inciarte to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Louisville. The 3-time gold glove award winning center fielder was released by the Atlanta Braves on July 29th.
A solid singles hitter in the first five seasons of his career, Ender Inciarte hit .289/.337/.390 in 694 games from 2014-2018. But in 2019 his ability to hit for average fell off, and then in 2020 and 2021 any remaining power he had shown also disappeared. Since 2020 began he's hit .200/.267/.277 in 98 games – all with the Braves.
On a minor league deal the Reds have depth in Triple-A that will bring defense to the outfield if they happen to need it at some point this season. Currently the big league team has plenty of outfielders now that Nick Castellanos is back off of the injured list. And things will be getting a bit more crowded when Nick Senzel returns, too – he's currently playing in his 4th rehab game with the Louisville Bats after having knee surgery.
But if there's one thing we've seen this past year in sports it's that a lot of guys are winding up injured and having too much depth is not at all a thing. The Reds added something that they may need at some point down the stretch. If not, great. But it's better to have something and not need it than need something and not have it.
The Reds land three in ESPN's Top 50 Prospects List
Speaking of the minor leagues, the Cincinnati Reds have three prospects in ESPN's midseason Top 50 Prospect list. Pitchers Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo are both inside the top 25, with Greene being the 3rd rated pitcher overall and Lodolo being the top left-handed pitcher on the list. Shortstop Jose Barrero finds himself at #40 on the list from former MLB scout and front office member Kiley McDaniel.

A true CF'er. Wonder how this might play out.
I've actually been expecting this. Not a game changer, especially given his last couple of years but potentially useful.
JayTheRed 08/05/2021
I have to agree, I saw he got released by the Braves and I know the Reds had some interest in him in the past. I thought I bet he comes and here he is.
I really liked Inciarte when he first showed up. How does this work? How long do the Reds have him?
2020ball 08/05/2021
probably until the end of this year
Nice defensive option to have in the wings if necessary. But as pointed out, there's no place to currently put him on the big club. A few years ago, this would have been an exciting acquisition. Now, it's simply insurance. Hope he finds his bat in the minors.
He instantly becomes the #1 defensive OF option in the high minors and probably the majors as well. Not a bad depth aquisition or even as a late inning sub in september with the expanded rosters.
beelicker 08/05/2021
Looks like he's a LH Shogo replacement level option "in 2o2o he had the lowest average exit velocity of any major league batter, at 78.2 mph, and the lowest percentage of hard hit balls, at 6.4%" … looks like this season had also a recurrence of a hamstring problem, which along with a 'torso injury' from 2o19 initiated the overall decline that has likewise curtailed his former Gold Glove defensive prowess. Atlanta will still be paying him what's left of $8mil this year + a $1mil buyout for 2o22 already exercised to *not* play for them any more … also has a new son since May with the 2oo9 Miss Universe also who has her own cosmetics beauty line besides being a Venezuelan TV and media personality. Perhaps the Reds are laying the groundwork for some sort of eventual Venezuelan player development outreach program …?
Arthur 08/05/2021
He needs to be on the ML roster ASAP. He is something the Reds haven't had since Billy Hamilton left – a legit defensive force in CF.
I would be playing him in CF after the 5th inning in every game the Reds have a lead. He's a significant upgrade over Naquin in CF.
Fanman 08/05/2021
Reds were trying to acquire him before he signed with Braves. Great defender and speed on bases, is also a team need. Nice pick up
Redsvol 08/05/2021
Cots site says he has 2 options left but 6.2 years of service. They had an option on his 2022 salary but I guess that is moot. If he signed with us, he and his agent may have noticed our CF depth is horrible and may be eyeing a 2022 deal with invite to spring training. If we wind up losing Aquino, we're going to need a late inning defensive replacement for 2022 so this could be an eye toward 2022 – great planning!
He needs to be in Cincinnati as a defensive replacement ASAP. Our outfield defense is poor, to put it kindly. Inciarte would be a significant upgrade defensively anywhere we put him.
Make him your late inning double-switch when Reds have a lead. Might help out that bullpen just a little bit.
He was good years ago but nice pick up I can see him be called up next month when roster being extended or if Tyler stephenson left game and on IL I can see him added to the spot and freeman shogo or Aquino be cut for moose. This is my opinion tho.
Btw it was great to see bullpen pitcher pitched a two inning tonight which will help us close this out. I hope Gray get better because we will need him to push this to the postseason.
Ruan 08/05/2021
Don't look now but Hoffman's ERA is only .22 worse than Gray's
Doc 08/05/2021
Any other .200 hitter and this space would be exploding with sarcasm. Pick up somebody who had a few good years a few years ago, but none recently, and everybody is drooling over the pick up. Outfield defense is not why the Reds are 7 games behind and adding a .200 hitting outfielder to slot in with Suarez and the pitcher will not be a difference maker.
Tom 08/05/2021
Thank you, I thought I had gone crazy reading some of these comments.
This is a depth move at best.
I think your assessment of what people here are thinking might be a little harsh.. I didn't just read any comments where people were like OMG.. This is huge get him up right now in the bigs. NO didn't see that once.
He is a good defensive backup player at this point.
That is my point – his weak hitting isn't a huge factor. It is the fact that he can run and catch the baseball. I don't propose to use him as a pinch hitter or a starter. He has value only as a defensive replacement.
By the way – we do know that the Reds outfield defense is dead last in the majors, and they aren't even sniffing 29th position, right??
There might not be a place on the roster for him right now, especially with our bullpen woes. But come September 1, he needs to be on the club.
Actually—maybe after you posted this—there are two "get him up here now" comments
Exactly. There is a reason Atlanta let him go. No need for another 200 hitter.
Looking at his Baseball Reference page, Inciarte looks like a guy who appeared set to really take off as he reached what should have been his peak years but instead levelled then dropped off. (much to the chagrin of the Braves who paid a lot for not much including $8.7M for this year and another $1M to buy out the option on him for 2022). Whether the result of injury or other issues, the Braves must have been thoroughly convinced he was beyond trying to revive in the minors.
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/i/inciaen01.shtml
You mean the Braves just didn't keep running him out there because he had a big contract?
I didn't know that was allowed
An ok move. It would have been more appropriate a few years ago when Senzel was put in centerfield. If the Reds can get rid of Shogo's contract, it would work now with late game defense and base path speed, plus Enciarte, until recently, has not been a bad hitter. Needless to say the Reds need additions to the young core in centerfield (minus Senzel) and at shortstop where, hopefully, Barrero can take over next season.
This is all about REDS minor league teams with very little talent, and Senzel problems with injuries!

Dec. 22, 2017, Leamington, Ont. – While the holiday season brings joy and happiness to many, it can be a time of hardship for many families. The holiday season tends to be a time for reflection, when many people take time to lend a helping hand to those in need.
Under the company ethos of growing both produce & people, NatureFresh™ Farms has put a focus on giving back to those in the community who are well deserving of holiday cheer.
One way in which NatureFresh Farms felt they could make a difference and give back to their community was through their Fulton County Holiday Giveaway.
Throughout the month of December, individuals could nominate a family living within a 50-mile radius of Fulton County, Ohio, that was deserving of a little help this holiday season. Many families nominated were going through a hard time or were individuals who dedicated their lives to making a positive impact on the community.
NatureFresh™ Farms had originally intended to select five of these families to receive a $500 Walmart gift card and baskets full of nutritious food, including all the ingredients to make a turkey dinner. From the moment the giveaway opened up for nominations, the response was overwhelming.
With over 250 heartwarming and heartbreaking stories being submitted, Peter Quiring, the Owner & CEO, decided to increase the initiative to ten families.
NatureFresh Farms is very fortunate to be actively involved in two remarkable communities from both Canada and the United States, each with their own areas of need.
This past December, NatureFresh™ Farms lent out a portion of their warehouse to the Leamington Goodfellows. With the Leamington District High School raising over 56,000 food items, this space allowed the volunteer team to store the donations and have room to compile over 800 food baskets for those in need.
Now in their 39th year, the Leamington Goodfellows consists of a handful of the original members, many retired teachers and high school students from within the community.
Although getting out into the community and making a difference is very important to NatureFresh Farms and its employees, the company works hard to ensure that joy and some laughs are part of the holiday season in the office and at the farm. NatureFresh Farms' very own elf on the shelf, Frankie Fresh, has been making his rounds daily.
Frankie's favourite things to do is surprise team members with special gifts, leave selfies in the least expecting places and make hilarious surprise appearances via technology.
Frankie has a talent for surprising the right person just when they needed a smile! Check it out at NatureFresh.ca/FrankieFresh.

I want to build businesses; the idea of building and creating something out of scratch is exhilarating to me. I have a few small businesses currently and am consistently working to grow them. But one of the hardest things for me is pricing; honestly, I'm the worst at assigning monetary value to my work. Recently, I was hired by a friend to do some editing, which spurred me to begin researching pricing for the different consulting, design, and editing services I can provide. I don't enjoy the process of pricing at all! But I've learned something about myself in the process: I don't understand the value I bring.
Currently I'm doing a lot of work for free because I know that's what the Lord has called me to do in this season. Recently I've begun tracking how much time I'm spending on certain projects so that I can be informed, as I gain paying clients, just how much time I have to devote to them. I recently decided to do the math about how much money I could've made on one project I did and it was far more than I imagined! As I've been donating my time, I haven't realized how much of a blessing I've been because I didn't value my own time.
It's so easy to undervalue ourselves. Think about it for a moment: you spend all your time with you, there's nowhere you go where you aren't there, which means that you see the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of you. I've found that the longer you spend with someone or something the less you can come to value it.
Recently a friend and mentor was talking with me about his wife. He had been thinking about his life and realized that every good thing in his life was tied back to her. He broke down in tears of gratitude because of the amazing woman he has been married to for well over 30 years. While he doesn't take her for granted, he loves her day in and day out, he doesn't always focus on the incredible value that she is in his life.
You might not understand the peace you bring to a situation.
You might not see the energy you add to a room.
You might not remember how your kindness changed someone's world.
You might not grasp the impact your smile has upon others.
You might not know how valuable you are to others around you.
I encourage you to take a few moments today to meditate on your value. This exercise isn't to make you big-headed or prideful, but to help you better understand who you are. God made you for a specific reason. He fashioned you with intentionality and care and you are worth a fortune.
Wonderfully written thoughts. I definitely agree. Determining our own value is difficult at best. Especially when we're trying to do pricing for services we render for others. When I was editing online I found I could never assign a value for my editing that matched or exceeded the time and effort I put in on the project. So I consistently fell short of what I would consider the actual (or profitable) value of my work.
Our estimate of our value falls abysmally short of God's estimate of our value and worth. To Him we are priceless, invaluable, cherished children. A value I don't believe we would never assign to ourselves.
It's amazing the chasm between God's thoughts and our own! Oh that we would come to see things as he does!

L'Alba di Milano è un'opera dell'architetto londinese Ian Ritchie che è stata installata per un breve periodo di tempo innanzi alla Stazione Centrale di Milano, in Piazza Duca d'Aosta; era alta 30 metri, pesante 75 tonnellate e realizzata con 120 chilometri di fibre ottiche.

Era stata scelta in quanto vincitrice del concorso internazionale di architettura "Milano 2001:III Millennium – Segno luminoso", promosso dal Comune di Milano ed organizzato dalla società AEM Spa, l'Arca, una rivista internazionale di Architettura e .

Il comunicato con il quale si concludeva il concorso affermava che il "progetto, con la sua forza di immagine-simbolo, sarà in grado di esprimere i valori universali di imprenditorialità, cultura, socialità e spirito di ricerca che hanno caratterizzato da sempre la metropoli ambrosiana, e con i quali essa intende affrontare la sfida di un futuro interamente da costruire".

.

L'opera è stata quindi inaugurata il 18 gennaio 2001 dal Sindaco Gabriele Albertini.

A seguito di forti critiche (tra le quali, quella di Vittorio Sgarbi), l'opera è stata rimossa tra l'aprile e l'agosto 2002.

Nel marzo 2007 Sgarbi, nel frattempo divenuto assessore alla cultura di Milano per la Giunta di Letizia Moratti, ha annunciato di aver trovato un compratore per l'opera, rimasta in un magazzino comunale dalla sua rimozione.

The invention provides a method and apparatus for eliminating the stack overflow and underflow in a dual stack computer 100 while remaining fully operational in case of single event upset caused by radiation and a method and apparatus for eliminating stack overflow and underflow by replacing a conventional stack with a circular stack array 125B coupled to a plurality of multiplexers 205 a-h to function in a circular repeating pattern. The method of the invention provides for the stack to remain operational in the event of single event upset by using one hot logic multiplexers 205 a-h. Thus in case of single event upset, where the logic state of the control signals can be corrupted such that at a given time both the push or pop control signals are active, the multiplexers will not shift the data either upward or downward in the data stack 145 and the return stack 120 and prevents the processor system 100 from entering into an unknown state.
Stack machines offer processor complexity that is much lower than that of Complex Instruction Set Computers CISCs, and overall system complexity that is lower than that of either Reduced Instruction Set Computers RISCs or CISC machines. They do this without requiring complicated compilers or cache control hardware for good performance. They also attain competitive raw performance, and superior performance for a given price in most programming environments. Previously, the stacks were kept mostly in program memory; newer stack machines maintain separate memory chips or even an area of on-chip memory for the stacks. These stack machines provide extremely fast subroutine calling capability and superior performance for interrupt handling and task switching.
However, there is no hardware detection of stack overflow or underflow conditions. Stack overflow occurs when there are not a sufficient number of registers available and results continue to be pushed onto the stack, causing the bottom registers to be overwritten. Stack underflow occurs when all registers have been emptied, and continued popping of a stack produces unintentional or incorrect results. Some other stack processors use stack pointers and memory management such that an error condition is flagged when a stack pointer goes out of range of memory allocated for the stack. U.S. Pat. No. 6,367,005, issued to Zahir, et al., discloses a register stack engine, which saves to memory sufficient registers of a register stack to provide more available registers in the event of stack overflow. The register stack engine also delays the microprocessor until the engine can restore an appropriate number of registers in the event of stack underflow.
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/503,372 addresses the problem of stack overflow and underflow by replacing a conventional stack by an array of registers which function in a circular, repeating pattern. This circular, repeating pattern is accomplished through utilization of an associated bi-directional shift register which contains a plurality of one bit shift registers electrically interconnected in an alternating pattern. This configuration prevents reading from outside of the stack, and prevents reading an unintended empty register value. While the above-described method did effect the improvement of enabling a circular stack to prevent the overflow and underflow, that method was less than ideal if more than one bit is set to a '1' because of single event upset, where the bits of the shift registers are corrupted by the radiation. If more than one of the bits of the shift registers is set to '1', the successive operations will receive corrupted data or may not able to perform the required operations and can enter an unknown state. The above method also fails to operate if all the bits of the bidirectional shift register is set to '0' and enters an unknown state. Thus, there is a need for a robust system that is operational in case of single event upset and yet able to eliminate overflow and underflow within a stack.
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for eliminating the stack overflow and underflow in a dual stack computer while remaining fully operational in case of single event upset caused by radiation. More importantly, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for eliminating stack overflow and underflow by replacing a conventional stack with a circular stack array which is coupled to a plurality of multiplexers to function in a circular repeating pattern. This circular repeating pattern is accomplished through utilization of a plurality of multiplexers which, on receiving control signals from the decode logic, shifts the data up or down in the data stack registers and return stack registers. This configuration prevents reading from outside of the stack, and prevents reading an unintended empty register value.
Each multiplexer in the data stack and return stack provides input to one stack register of the circular stack array, while accepting inputs from a proceeding and a succeeding stack register of the circular array. The multiplexer shifts the data by providing data of the preceding or succeeding stack register as the input to the stack register. On receiving the active pop signal, multiplexer provides input of the succeeding stack register as the input to the stack register thus shifting data up in the data stack and the data of the top stack register is written to the bottom stack register in the circular array to avoid underflow. On the other hand, if an active push signal is received, multiplexer provides input of the preceding stack register as the input to the stack register, thus shifting data down in the data stack and the return stack and the data of the bottom stack register is written over to avoid overflow.
The present invention also provides a method and apparatus for the stack to remain operational in the event of single event upset by using one hot logic multiplexers. The one hot logic multiplexer only performs an operation if only one of the push or pop control signals is active. Thus, in case of single event upset, where the logic state of the control signals can be corrupted such that at a given time both the push or pop control signals are active, the multiplexers will not shift the data either upward or downward in the data stack and the return stack and prevents the processor system from entering into an unknown state.
FIGS. 7 a and 7 b are a method of operation in a circular return stack registers on receiving push and pull control signals.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram depicting the general layout of a dual stack computer 100 as used in the present invention. The computer 100 is generally a self contained computer having its own ROM 105 and RAM 110. The computer consists of a return stack 120 for storing return addresses, consisting of 18-bit R register 125A and a circular array of stack registers 125B and a data stack 140 which is used for computation purposes, consisting of 18-bit T register 145A, 18-bit S register 145B and a circular array of data stack registers 145C. Other basic components of the computer 100 are the instruction area 130 includes an A register 130A, B register 130B and P register 130C. In this example, the A register 130A is a full eighteen-bit register, while the B register 130B and the P register 130C are nine-bit registers. Computer 100 also includes an arithmetic logic unit 135 to perform arithmetic operations and a decode logic section 150 for decoding instructions received by the computer 100. The computer 100 communicates with the processors that can be connected orthogonally using the communication ports UP 115A, LEFT 115B, RIGHT 115C and DOWN 115D.
FIG. 2 discloses an embodiment of the data stack 140 according to the present invention. The top two registers in the data stack 140 are an 18-bit T register 145A and 18 bit S register 145B. The circular array of data stack registers 145C includes additional eight 18-bit data stack registers, S1 through S8 arranged in a circular array. The eight 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 can operate in the absence of the 18-bit T register 145A and 18-bit S register 145B. However, the presence of at least the 18-bit S register 145B in combination with the 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 provides faster access and optimum for timing, and therefore provides higher operating speed of the 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8. In addition, the 18-bit S register 145B acts as a buffer between the 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 and the rest of the processor system. This provides independence of timing between the 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 and the rest of the processor system 100.
This embodiment also includes of logic circuitry which includes a plurality of multiplexers 205 a through 205 h that provide data to the 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 145C based on the control signals control signals to the multiplexers and stack registers will be explained in detail in FIG. 4. The number of multiplexers 205 a through 205 h is equal to the number of 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 located below the 18-bit S register 145B. Each multiplexer 205 a through 205 h provides input to one of the 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 as shown in FIG. 2. The multiplexers 205 a through 205 h are electrically connected with 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 such that the 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 operate in the sequential circular interconnect pattern. Each multiplexer 205 a through 205 h receives input from stack register immediately preceding and the stack register succeeding the stack register connected to the multiplexer. For example, the multiplexer 205 c providing input to the stack register S3 receives data 210 b and data 210 d from the preceding 18-bit stack registers S2 and successive 18-bit stack register S4 respectively. Multiplexer 205 c provides either the data received from the preceding 18-bit stack register S2 or the 18-bit successive register S4 based on the control signal input received which is shown in detail in FIG. 4.
FIG. 3 discloses the return stack 120 according to the present invention. The return stack 120 includes the 18-bit R register 125A, and circular array of stack registers 125B. The circular array of stack registers 125B includes eight additional 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 located below the 18-bit R register 125A. The 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 are arranged in a circular array and can operate in the absence of the 18-bit R register 125A. However, the presence of at least the 18-bit R register 125A in combination with 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 provides faster access circuitry and an optimum for timing, and therefore provides higher operating speed. In addition, the 18-bit R register 125A acts as a buffer between the 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 and the rest of the processor system 100.
This embodiment also includes logic circuitry, which includes a plurality of multiplexers 305 a through 305 h that provide data to the 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 based on the control signals control signals to the multiplexers and stack registers are explained in detail in FIG. 4. The number of multiplexers 305 a through 305 h is equal to the number of bottom 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 located below the 18-bit R register 125A. Each multiplexer 305 a through 305 h provide input to the one of the 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 as shown in FIG. 3. The multiplexers 305 a through 305 h are electrically connected with 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 such that the 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 operate in the sequential circular interconnect pattern. Each multiplexer 305 a through 305 h receives input from stack register immediately preceding and the stack register succeeding the stack register connected to the multiplexer. For example, the multiplexer 305 c providing input to the stack register R3 receives data 310 b and data 310 d from the preceding 18-bit stack registers R2 and successive 18-bit stack register R4 respectively. Multiplexer 305 c provides either the data received from the preceding 18-bit stack register R2 or the 18-bit successive register R4, based on the control signal input received which is shown in detail in FIG. 4.
FIG. 4 is an expanded view of the interface between one of the 18-bit data stack register S1 with one of the multiplexers 205 a which provides the data 215 a to the 18-bit data stack register S1. Each 18-bit data stack register S1 through S8 and 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 receives the enable signal 405 from the decode logic section 150 and clock signal 420 and reset signal 425. Even though FIG. 4 shows only the interface between one of the 18-bit data stack registers S1 with one of the multiplexers 205 a which provides the data 215 a, it would be obvious to one skilled in the art that the interface between the rest of the 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 and the multiplexers 205 b through 205 h and the interface between 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 and the multiplexers 305 a through 305 h is same as depicted in FIG. 4. Multiplexers 205 a through 205 h and multiplexers 305 a through 305 h receive the pop 410 and push 415 control signals from decode logic section 150 to pop and push data from and to the 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 and 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 respectively. Multiplexers 205 a through 205 h and multiplexers 305 a through 305 h are implemented using one hot logic circuitry, wherein the multiplexers 205 a through 205 h and multiplexers 305 a through 305 h perform operations only if one of the pop 410 and push 415 control signals from decode logic section is active. If one or more of the pop 410 and push 415 control signals logic state are flipped due to single event upset, such that both the pop 410 and push 415 control signals are at a logic state of '1' or '0', the multiplexers 205 a through 205 h and multiplexers 305 a through 305 h will not perform any operation other than entering into an unknown state.
The multiplexer 205 a providing data 215 a to the 18-bit data stack registers S1 is coupled with the output 210 s of the 18-bit S register 145B and output 210 b of the successive-bit data stack registers S2. Multiplexer 205 a provides the 18-bit data stack registers S1 either data output 210 s of the 18-bit S register or output 210 b of the successive 18-bit data stack registers S2 as input 215 a depending on if the push control signal 415 or the pop control signal 410 is active. If an active push control signal 415 is received, the multiplexer 205 a provides data 210 s from the 18-bit S register 145B as the input 215 a to the 18-bit data stack register S1. If an active pop control signal 410 is received, the multiplexer 205 a provides data 210 b from the successive 18-bit stack register S2 as the input 215 a to the 18-bit data stack registers S1. In one embodiment, multiplexers 205 a through 205 h and multiplexers 305 a through 305 h are all implemented using one hot logic methodology, wherein only one of the control inputs can be active at any given point. No data operations are performed if both push 415 and pop 410 control signals are active or inactive at the same time.
FIG. 5 illustrates one embodiment of method for circular stack operation of the stack computer 100 on receiving the instruction opcode. The stack computer 100 remains in the idle state on receiving the power up condition step 505. The stack computer 100 verifies to determine if a new opcode is received and if opcode is not received, then it returns to the idle state step 510. If a new opcode is received, then decode logic section 150 decodes the opcode and verifies if the data operation needs to be performed on the return stack 120 or data stack 140 step 515 and step 520. If the data operation needs to be performed in the data stack 140, the decode logic section 150 determines if data needs to be pushed into or popped out of the data stack step 525. If the data needs to be pushed into the data stack 140, the new data is moved into the 18-bit T register 145A and the data in 18-bit S register 145B and 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 is shifted down, which will be explained in FIG. 6 a steps 535 and 540. If the data needs to be popped out of the data stack 140, the data in the 18-bit data stack registers S8 through S2 is shifted up and data from the 18-bit stack register S1 is copied to 18-bit stack register S8, which will be explained in FIG. 6 b steps 545 and 550. If the data operation needs to be performed in the return stack 120, the decode logic section 150 determines if data needs to be pushed into or popped out of the return stack 120 step 530. If the data needs to be popped out of the return stack 120, the data in the 18-bit return stack registers R8 through R1 is shifted up and data from the 18-bit return stack register R1 is copied to 18-bit return stack register R8, which will be explained in FIG. 6 b steps 555 and 560. If the data needs to be pushed into the return stack 120, the new data is moved into the 18-bit R register 125A and the data from the 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 is shifted down, which will be explained in FIG. 7 a steps 565 and 570.
FIG. 6 a illustrates one embodiment of a method of shifting data to avoid overflow when decode logic section 150 detects a push instruction to be performed on the data stack 140. The decode logic section 150 sends an active push control signal 415 to the multiplexers 205 a through 205 h. A ten cell deep push down stack is formed by the 18-bit T register 145A, 18-bit S register 145B and 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8. The new data to be pushed is written to the 18-bit T register 145A, the data from the 18-bit T register 145A is written to 18-bit S register 145B and the data of the 18-bit S register 145B is shifted down to the 18-bit data stack register S1 and the data from the 18-bit data stack registers S2 through S8 145C is shifted down to the 18-bit data stack registers S2 through S8 145C on receiving the active push control signal 415. The data that was previously present in the data stack registers will be shifted down in the following fashion T→S→S1→S2→S3→S4→S5→S6→S7→S8 and the data in the S8 register are lost as shown in FIG. 6 a. There is no stack overflow and if more than ten items are written, only the last ten will remain; each store after the first ten will overwrite one of the S1 through S8 registers.
FIG. 6 b illustrates one embodiment of a method of shifting data to avoid underflow when decode logic section 150 detects a pop instruction to be performed on the data stack 140. The decode logic section 150 provides an active pop signal 410 to the multiplexers 205 a through 205 h. A ten cell deep pop up stack is formed by the registers T 145A, S 145B, and S1 through S8, and on receiving an active pop signal 140, the data from the 18-bit data stack registers S1 through S8 will be shifted up and the data from S1 register will be copied to the S8 register. The data will be shifted up in the following fashion S8→S7→S6→S5→S4→S3→S2→S1→S→T and data in S1 register is copied to S8 register as shown in FIG. 6 b. Because the bottom eight registers are in a circular buffer, the hardware wraps rather than underflows and one can keep taking more copies of the last eight items taken from the bottom of the stack forever. It is the fastest way to duplicate a pattern of eight words or four or two or one because the bottom eight will be read over and over if a program keeps taking values from the stack.
FIG. 7 a illustrates one embodiment of a method of shifting data to avoid overflow when decode logic section 150 detects a push instruction to be performed on the return stack. The decode logic section 150 provides an active push signal to the multiplexers 305 a through 305 h. A ten cell deep push down stack is formed by the registers R 125A, and R1 through R8 and on receiving an active control input push signal, the new data will be written to the top register, in this case 18-bit R register 125A and the data stored in 18-bit return stack registers R1 through R8 will be shifted down to the 18-bit return stack registers R2 through R8. The data that was previously present in the stack registers will be shifted down in the following fashion R→R1→R2→R3→R4→R5→R6→R7→R8 and the data in the R8 register is lost as shown in FIG. 7 a. There is no stack overflow and if more than ten items are written, only the last ten will remain; each store after the first ten will overwrite one of the R1 through R8 registers.
FIG. 7 b illustrates one embodiment of a method of shifting data to avoid underflow when decode logic section 150 detects a pop instruction to be performed on the return stack 120. The decode logic section 150 provides an active pop control signal 410 to the multiplexers 305 a through 305 h. A ten cell deep pop up stack is formed by the registers R, and R1 through R8 and on receiving an active pop signal 410 then the data from the registers will be shifted up and the data from R1 register 210 9 will be copied to the R8 register 210 16. The data will be shifted up in the following fashion R8→R7→R6→R5→R4→R3→R2→R1→R and data in R1 is copied to R8 stack register as shown in FIG. 7 b. Because the bottom eight registers are in a circular buffer, the hardware wraps rather than underflows and one can keep taking more copies of the last eight items taken from the bottom of the stack forever. It is the fastest way to duplicate a pattern of eight words or four or two or one because the bottom eight will be read over and over if a program keeps taking values from the stack.
It will be apparent to those familiar with the art that in yet an alternate embodiment, the hardware portion that is the smallest repeated element of array 16 on chip 14 may have a form that is different from a dual-stack computer with RAM and ROM memory, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
