Run faster? It's all in the genes

Article Abstract:

Genetix is reviving computer technology developed by Alan Turing in the 1930s with its Gene Machine, a program that undertakes the tasks of an operating system and an application. It is extremely compact because it reuses large amounts of code, and will work on any hardware. Genetix believes that the technology will initially be used by manufacturers of embedded systems and smart cards. It has advantages for desktop PCs, but Genetix will not seek to compete directly with Intel or Microsoft.
