Abstract

A computing hardware and software device called a Meta Mentor Central Processing Unit. The Meta Mentor purpose is to control memory, input/output interfaces, defining the operating system, the scheduling processes and the parsing of individual threads to an array of slave Processing Units that are uniquely connected, thus creating a highly optimized computing core. In effect, the Meta Mentor tells the array of slave processors what to process by controlling all external and internal system input/output and individual processor scheduling.
