Abstract :
IBM\´s autonomic computing initiative seeks to create self reliant IT systems, but autonomic properties can also be applied to tower layers of computing. This paper reviews a new autonomic CPU design intended to integrate into an embedded autonomic system. The CPU is made up of "Cogs" which intemperate to carry out computation. Code written for a Cog computer simulator is presented that demonstrates core Cog features. A review of this first machine concludes the paper.
