Professor Jack Martin of the Computing Science Department at Bishop's University, and his colleague in Chemistry, Professor Pierre Fortin, University of Sherbrooke have been able to develop a unique computer chip that can be used to immediately test the effectiveness of other new computer chips, and identify glitches.

They have both have had the benefit of Levent Torlak, an older devout Muslim Iranian who is a Ph.D student at UdS, Torlak had worked on a similar project in Iran and will be sharing his expertise. It has been decided that Torlak will be the head of manufacturing, should the project proceed.

All three have decided to form a legal entity to manufacture the chip, in part helped by a Quebec venture capitalist and entrepreneur named Mark Tardif.

Not only are they going to provide the software, but they are also going to physically make the new chip in a factory in Sherbrooke. Aside from the software, the physical production is a complicated process dealing with dust and high temperatures.

Initially they think they will have to hire about 10 people.
