ECO Computation System

The ECO Computation System is a powerful multiblock crafting CPU cluster that provides massive parallel crafting capabilities for your ME Network.

Overview

The computation subsystem replaces standard AE2 crafting CPUs with a much more powerful and scalable solution. It provides multiple crafting threads and accelerators, allowing many crafting jobs to run simultaneously.

Tiers

There are three tiers of computation systems available:

Tier	Controller	Accelerators	Threads	Storage per Cell
C4	ECO - C4 вычислительный контроллер	64	1	64MB
C6	ECO - C6 вычислительный контроллер	192	2	256MB
C9	ECO - C9 вычислительный контроллер	576	4	1GB

Structure Components

Controller

The computation system controller (ECO - C4 вычислительный контроллер, ECO - C6 вычислительный контроллер, or ECO - C9 вычислительный контроллер) is the core of the multiblock. It determines the tier and manages all crafting operations.

Computation Drive

The ECO - CD кристаллический дисковод holds computation cells that provide storage space for crafting operations. Drives are placed in upper and lower rows above and below the transmitter.

Superconductive Transmitter

The ECO - CI сверхпроводящая шина handles data transfer between drives and processing cores.

Threading Core

Threading cores (ECO - CM4A ядро многопоточности, ECO - CM6A ядро многопоточности, or ECO - CM9A ядро многопоточности) provide crafting threads. Each thread can handle one crafting job simultaneously. A controller accepts cores at its own tier or lower.

Parallel Core

Parallel cores (ECO - CT4 параллельное ядро, ECO - CT6 параллельное ядро, or ECO - CT9 параллельное ядро) provide crafting accelerators that speed up crafting operations. They are placed in rows above and below the threading cores.

Network Exchange Modules

Normal Network Exchange Structure (Length 1)

Модуль сетевого коммутатора вычислительной подсистемы ECO and Модуль высокоэнергетического сетевого коммутатора вычислительной подсистемы ECO link C9 computation hosts on the same ME network. While facing the controller front, replace the adjacent central casing on the right for a normal structure or on the left for a mirrored structure. At least two linked C9 hosts are required; a single host remains at x1.

Exchange Multipliers

Topic	Normal	High-energy
Resource multiplier	x2 threads, accelerators, and CPU storage	x8 threads, accelerators, and CPU storage
Power draw	x4	x16
Cooling controller	A valid cooling controller on the host	A C9 cooling controller on the host; otherwise the host contributes at x1

Shared Exchange Rules

Topic	Behavior
Activation	At least two linked C9 hosts are required. A single host remains at x1.
Resource aggregation	Each physical host is evaluated independently, then its effective threads, accelerators, and storage are added to the ME network.
Module mixing	Normal and high-energy modules can be mixed; each host contributes resources according to its installed module tier.
Ultimate mode	At least 8 high-energy C9 hosts must each have at least 10 Threading Cores and every upper and lower Computation Drive filled with a valid Flash Array. The aggregate CPU then uses INT32_MAX (2,147,483,647) parallelism and INT64_MAX (9,223,372,036,854,775,807 bytes) storage. Active job bytes are still deducted from available storage; normal x2 hosts do not qualify.

Building the Structure

Place the Controller facing outward
Build the structural frame using Computation Casing blocks around the controller
Place the Interface at the designated position (back-left of controller)
Add Transmitters in a horizontal row extending from the right side of the Computation Casing on the right side of the controller
Place Threading Cores behind the transmitters
Add Drives in upper and lower rows (above and below the transmitters)
Place Parallel Cores in upper and lower rows (above and below the threading cores)
Add the Cooling Controller at the end of the transmitter row (the player should place it on the right side of the structure, facing the controller)
Complete the structure with remaining casing blocks

The structure is extensible - add more threading cores, parallel cores, drives, and transmitters to increase capacity.

To assemble the structure more quickly, hold the Structure Terminal and normal right-click the controller. Follow Multiblock Auto Builder to select the length and build mode, then hold Shift and right-click the controller to execute.

Computation Cells

The following computation cells provide storage for crafting jobs:

ECO - CE4 массив флеш-кристаллов - CE4 Flash Array, 64MB
ECO - CE6 массив флеш-кристаллов - CE6 Flash Array, 256MB
ECO - CE9 массив флеш-кристаллов - CE9 Flash Array, 1GB

Usage

Once formed, the computation system appears as a crafting CPU in your ME Network. When starting a crafting job, you can select the ECO computation system as the target CPU.

The GUI displays:

Used threads / Total threads
Used storage / Available storage
Parallelism count

ECO CPU Scheduling

The ECO computation system uses a more aggressive crafting CPU scheduling model than the original AE-style smoothed scheduling.

This scheduling model is specifically meant to support the high-speed workers used by the ECO crafting system: when a worker can finish a pattern in only a few ticks at high overclock levels, the CPU must refill the next batch of work immediately to avoid idle gaps.

Original AE-style scheduling smooths pattern submission across multiple ticks
ECO CPU refills available work every tick based on the currently free providers and workers
This is especially important for ECO crafting systems, where high overclock levels can complete patterns in very few ticks
As a result, the system spends less time idle between completed pattern executions and maintains higher sustained throughput

In practice, the ECO computation system favors sustained throughput over conservative per-tick smoothing.

CPU Selection Modes

The computation system supports different CPU selection modes:

Any - Can be selected by any crafting request
Player Only - Only accepts manual player requests
Machine Only - Only accepts automated requests

Tips

More threading cores = more simultaneous crafting jobs
More parallel cores = faster individual crafting operations
Ensure sufficient computation cell storage for large crafting jobs
The total storage across all cells must meet the crafting job requirements
