	AMULET microprocessor - Biocrawler
		AMULET is a series of microprocessors that implement the ARM processor architecture.
		Developed by the Advanced Processor Technologies (http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/apt/index.html) group under the University of Manchester's computer science school (formerly the AMULET and PAL groups based at the same institution), AMULET is unique from other ARM implementations in that it is an asynchronous microprocessor, not making use of a square wave clock signal for data synchronization and movement.
		One very notable feature that is due to the asynchronous design is that the power dissipation drops to 3µW when not in use (assuming the on-board timer, which handles DRAM refresh, is also inactive).

		An amulet (from Latin amuletum, meaning A means of protection) consists of any object intended to bring good luck and/or protection to its owner.
		In the United States of America a gesture has become a common amulet that spread through many countries: "to keep the fingers crossed" to attract good luck or avoid punishment for a fake oath or promise.
		Museums display many curious amulets, but one need not go far to see one, because they have never lost their influence on people of every nation and social status.

	Amulet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An amulet (from Latin amuletum, meaning A means of protection) or a talisman (from Arabic tilasm, ultimately from Greek telesma or from the Greek word "talein" which means "to initiate into the mysteries.") consists of any object intended to bring good luck and/or protection to its owner.
		Another aspect of amulets connects with demonology, demonolatry, and witchcraft; these systems consider a cross or pentagram star in downward position as favourable to communicate with demons and to show friendship towards them.
		The Christian Copts used tattoos as protective amulets, and the Tuareg still use them, as do the Haida Canadian aborigines, who wear the totem of their clan tattooed.

	Amulet Totally Explained
		A religious amulet might be the figure of a god or simply some symbol representing the deity (such as the cross for Christians or the "eye of Horus" for the ancient Egyptians).
		The ancient Egyptians had many amulets for different occasions and needs, often with the figure of a god or the "ankh" (the key of eternal life); the figure of the scarab god Khepri became a common amulet too and has now gained renewed fame around the Western world.
		Another aspect of amulets connects with demonology and demonolatry; these systems consider an inverted cross (not an upward cross, which drives demons away) or pentagram in downward position as favourable to communicate with demons and to show friendship towards them.

		The microprocessor typically accepts user input, for instance from the keypad of the microwave oven, and controls operation of the microwave oven, for instance the level of heating and duration of cooking.
		This embedded microprocessor conventionally includes, in addition to its logic circuitry, storage such as ROM (read only memory) which holds what is called firmware 12, which is a type of computer software, and also conventional RAM (random access memory) which is not shown.
		The embedded microprocessor resident resources accessed by program 92 are: two variables in this case containing the values 123 and 321, and two functions that in this case turn on an LED and turn off an LED attached to the embedded microprocessor.

	amulet \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		Potential amulets include: gems or simple stones, statues, coins, drawings, pendants, rings, plants, animals, etc.; even words said in certain occasions – for example: vade retro satana – (Latin, "go back, Satan"), to repel evil or bad luck.
		In April 1994 the Amulet group in the Computer Science department of Manchester University took delivery of the AMULET1 microprocessor.
		The work was part of a broad ESPRIT funded investigation into low-power technologies within the European Open Microprocessor systems Initiative (OMI) programme, where there is interest in low-power techniques both for portable equipment and (in the longer term) to alleviate the problems of the increasingly high dissipation of high-performance chips.

		A seminal microprocessor in the world of spaceflight was RCA's RCA 1802 (aka CDP1802, RCA COSMAC) which was used in NASA's Voyager and Viking spaceprobes of the 1970s, and onboard the Galileo probe to Jupiter (launched 1989, arrived 1995).
		Other early multi-chip 16-bit microprocessors include one used by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in the LSI-11 OEM board set and the packaged PDP 11/03 minicomputer, and the Fairchild Semiconductor MicroFlame 9440, both of which were introduced in the 1975 to 1976 timeframe.
		These microprocessors were used in the ATandT 3B5 and 3B15 minicomputers; in the 3B2, the world's first desktop supermicrocomputer; in the 'Companion', the world's first 32-bit laptop computer; and in 'Alexander', the world's first book-sized supermicrocomputer, featuring ROM-pack memory cartridges similar to today's gaming consoles.

		Amulet is the brainchild of Professor Steve Furber, a former engineer at Acorn Computers who was involved in the design of the original ARM microprocessor.
		The result is a microprocessor that is, in normal use, considerably more power efficient than its conventionally designed counterparts.
		Because the project was funded by ARM (the basic Amulet design is based on the ARM 9 chip) much of the intellectual property is owned by ARM, but a number of un-named companies are currently preparing to release Amulet based digital communications products within the next year.

		It should also be borne in mind that current commercial memories present a synchronous interface and the asynchronous microprocessor must be able to interface to these devices at some level.
		Future AMULET chips will employ an external interface which is much easier to design with, presenting the board level designer with a relatively conventional task.
		For the last five years the AMULET group at the University of Manchester has spent most of its energies addressing this shortfall and gaining experience of asynchronous engineering in the large.
