  • Composure.Ai (Formely Mosaixsoft)
    Ceo And Founder
    Composure.Ai (Formely Mosaixsoft) Sep 2017 - Apr 2021
    Los Altos, Ca, Us
    Composure.ai is a pioneer of spatial (multi-plane) optimization for hyper-distributed heterogeneous clouds with F500 customers in USA & Europe. It built the first multi-dimensional optimizer to control multi-clouds (core/edge, private/public/hybrid). Carl LehmannTo manage data and logic placement across distributed architecture, the HDCC control plane needs to be able to answer the question, ‘Under which conditions do I put a specific distributed workload (data/logic) on a specific part of a distributed architecture?’ For example, in the case of core/fog/edge IoT architecture, the issue is how to intelligently and dynamically choose and shift where logic is computed (i.e., in the core [cloud], in the fog [nodes], on the edge [devices]), and how to minimize data in motion. Do I move the logic to the data or the data to the logic? Such decisions require detailed analysis of many complex variables beyond just cost. We are aware of one venture-backed startup that is an early pioneer in such technology.Composure.ai set out to solve the problem of workload placement across highly distributed systems. It looks at all the workloads, systems and devices that constitute an HDCC architecture as one logical computing system. But intelligently determining where to place workloads and whether to move data to logic or logic to data is extraordinarily complex because there are so many potential options and decisions. ... Its Composer, Knowledge Analyzer and Optimizer offerings use graph-based knowledge modeling, natural language search and machine learning for load predictions to determine the best execution venue for workload, logic and data placements. Its modeling and analytics capabilities go beyond the somewhat static analysis of current cloud management platforms and first-generation HDCC control planes. Composure.ai looks more broadly at n-dimensional resources and relationships in what it refers to as poly-dimensional optimization to include many other variables,

    - Architected, designed, implemented and tested (one man show :-) ) VRTXmc, a real time micro-kernel for embedded microprocessors, capable of running on systems with 256 Bytes (yes bytes) of RAM and 4 KBytes of EPROM with 16 threads. - What was supposed to be a minor project, ended up in being probably one of the most ubiquitous real time kernels ever deployed in the history of high tech industry: more than a billion of embedded devices. -- Used by Motorola and Samsung in their wireless phones for around 12 years.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: (Redirected from VRTXmc, designed and implemented in 1992)Versatile Real-Time Executive, Ready Systems"....VRTX comes in two flavors: VRTXmc (micro-controller) for small systems requiring minimal memory use and VRTXsa (scalable architecture) for full operating system features. Most companies developing software with VRTX use ARM, MIPS, PowerPC or other RISC microprocessors.VRTX runs the Hubble Space Telescope.VRTXmc is used as a core for the Motorola proprietary P2K operating system, which runs on most company devices since the Motorola V60 and T280i, up to the Motorola RAZR2 V9x. It runs on several hardware platforms including LTE (Motorola V300, V500, V600, E398, RAZR V3 and others featuring the ARM7 processor), LTE2 (Motorola L7 and upcoming devices with 176x220 screen resolution), Rainbow POG (3G phones featuring an MCORE processor from Motorola E1000 to RAZR V3x), Argon (all new 3G phones with 532 MHz ARM11 processor since Motorola RAZR maxx V6 and V3xx) and others."
