Qube: computer design, memory policies, and simulation
Qube is a whole-computer research program with a working classical designer and functional graph simulator. It asks how execution, memory, software, packaging, and repair could be designed together. The public blueprint is a way to explore those relationships before treating a proposed machine as physical hardware.

What Qube gives your team
A small workload can make memory choices tangible: follow values, count logical data movement, and compare policies while keeping the proposed physical machine clearly separate.
Computer-architecture researchers, hardware/software teams, educators, and organizations exploring integrated machine design.
- 01
Describe a workload
Use a small functional graph with known inputs and outputs.
- 02
Choose a memory policy
Compare shared, explicit-copy, and combined-copy behavior.
- 03
Inspect the accounting
Check output values and logical movement under the same workload.
What the working simulator actually models
Qube's current graph simulator compares selected execution and memory choices. The native designer adds draggable components, saved layouts, sketches, and a bounded execution view. These tools let a researcher expose assumptions and inspect a small experiment.
A logical copy count is not a measurement of bandwidth, power, heat, or chip performance. The present graph model is not an instruction-set simulator and does not demonstrate Starfish booting on a new processor. Those distinctions help a reader interpret the result correctly.
Read the blueprint as a set of research questions
The public blueprint connects system, board, chip, execution, repair, and space considerations. Its drawings explain intended relationships. They are not fabrication-ready layouts, qualified replacement procedures, or a certified flight configuration.
Quantum Computer is Qube's subtitle and a research ambition. Today's working milestone is classical. A meaningful evaluation begins with the executable model and identifies which additional simulator, physical prototype, or measurement would be needed to support the next claim.
Current public evidence
Experimental research project
The working Windows CPU-reference designer has a sixteen-area overview, draggable cards, smooth zoom, saved layouts, board and SoC sketches, and a four-operation execution view. Its Yeho graph simulator passes 216 configurations. Shared, explicit-copy, and combined-copy policies preserve the example’s values while counting logical data movement. General graphs run separately from the native UI today. This is a functional graph model, not an ISA simulator or a booted Starfish machine. FPGA, a manufacturable chip, optical computing, quantum modules, holographic displays, demonstrated physical repairs and space qualification remain development or research goals.

Compare policies without changing the question
A suggested evaluation for your team.
- Open the public blueprint and identify the subsystem you want to understand.
- Choose the documented small graph and write down its expected values.
- Run each admitted memory policy with the same graph and inputs.
- Compare logical movement separately from output correctness.
- List the missing physical measurements before drawing conclusions about a future machine.
An understandable functional comparison with a clear boundary between model results, design proposals, and hardware evidence.

Common questions about Qube
Is Qube a working quantum computer?
No. It is an experimental program whose working milestone is a classical functional simulator and designer. Quantum modules, physical chips, and other advanced hardware remain research or development goals.
Can I download a Qube member source release today?
The public catalog currently states that a verified member archive has not been published. Ask about the release status before choosing membership specifically for a Qube archive.
Does repairability mean the physical repairs have been demonstrated?
Repairability is a design requirement. Actual diagnosis, part replacement, recovery, and environmental qualification need evidence from physical prototypes and the intended use conditions.
