That's the bold claim from Efficient Computer, a new startup stepping into the embedded market with their Electron E1 chip. Efficient’s goal is to approach the problem by static scheduling and control of the data flow - don’t buffer, but run. But Efficient Computer, with their E1 chip, is betting that's not enough. The Efficient compiler converts the C++ or Rust code in a data flow graph - and that’s a key point here. Crucially, this isn't software-emulated data flow; the hardware is designed to be the data flow engine.
