Hindsight: Reversible Computing

Posted by Hemos on from the step-back-into-the-past dept.

One of the more interesting tech pieces that came out this week has been Hindsight [PDF]. Hindsight is made by Virtutech and is billed as the "the first complete, general-purpose tool for reverse execution and debugging of arbitrary electronic systems." The demos were received extremely well and it just looks cool.

    Since it is based on the whole-system simulator Simics -- Yes, it does assume that the app runs in isolation, since all external stuff is just simics simulations.

  2. Reversible Computing != Reversible Execution by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    Reversible computing is a way of computing without (permenantly) consuming energy. Look it up if you're not familiar, because it's pretty interesting.

    Anyway, the headline is misleading.
