Neuromorphic Computing Ellipsoid

NCE modular ellipsoid computing from edge nodes to mission-scale clusters.

NCE is a modular three-dimensional ellipsoid computing family spanning edge nodes, workstations, rack-scale systems and mission architectures. The public program emphasizes standardized interfaces, photonic/data connectivity, serviceability, observability and human-governed operation.

Naming & Configuration

One family. Many physical scales. Clear xN semantics.

NCE means Neuromorphic Computing Ellipsoid. The species name is a memorable physical-scale alias. The xN suffix is the number of active ellipsoid modules in the host assembly: NCE-Chicken-x1 is one Chicken-class ellipsoid, while NCE-Goose-x8 is an eight-module Goose-class assembly. xN is not a generation number and is not a performance multiplier.

PHYSICAL FAMILY
Sparrow → Ostrich

Ten public scale aliases communicate packaging and role bands without claiming biological construction or production availability.

SCALE-OUT
x1 → x16+

Single modules grow into compact cells, trays and rack systems while keeping service, fault and safety boundaries explicit.

EVIDENCE POSTURE
Targets stay targets

Concept renderings, architecture goals and measured hardware results are kept visibly separate. Unverified performance remains TBR/TBD.

Product Family

Conceptual NCE Egg-Class family from Sparrow through Ostrich. Approximate reference dimensions and application bands are architecture aids; intermediate classes remain proposed and performance values remain TBR unless explicitly measured.
NCE-Chicken-x1 is the current WDP-NC test-bench integration candidate.

The Chicken-class architecture is the present candidate for experimental vacuum-bench control, sensor fusion and metrology support. This is an integration target—not a claim of validated warp-field capability.

Canonical Neuromorphic Metrics

Performance is a vector, not a single clock or FLOPS number.

NCE public engineering language uses neuromorphic workload and response measures. Absolute values remain class- and workload-dependent until representative hardware is measured.

Event ThroughputEPS / MEPS sustained and burst event ingress.
Synaptic ThroughputGSOPS / TSOPS where a workload makes that measure meaningful.
Sensor-to-Decision LatencyTimestamped end-to-end response, not a marketing multiplier.
Energy per Useful EventApplication-aware efficiency tied to useful work.
Optical / Data FabricPayload bandwidth, event routing latency and transport integrity.
State & RecoveryCheckpoint, restore, verification and recovery latency.

Existing Hardware Story

Inspection, service and lifecycle evidence remain part of the architecture.

Exploded neuromorphic ellipsoid assembly showing shell, core, interface rings, cooling and service structures
Exploded assembly view. Public renderings communicate module boundaries and service logic without exposing reproduction-enabling manufacturing details.
Optical tomography visualization of a neuromorphic ellipsoid
Inspection by design. Optical and thermal observability support acceptance, health assessment and regional fault isolation.
Public boundary: this branch presents concept architecture, scale aliases, interfaces and intended role bands. It deliberately omits process recipes, internal connector tolerances, proprietary algorithms, unreleased performance values and construction details.
