One technology, two languages. The business case up front — the specs on the flip.

For decision-makers · audit-first / Language

Without a rewrite, use every core.
Your bill to 1/3, your bugs to zero.

You want to parallelize. But touch the source and bugs appear; leave it and cores sit idle. We resolve that dilemma at build time.

Cost — CFO / Infrastructure
Faster, without more servers

It wakes idle cores, so you get faster without adding servers. Measured 2.97–4.23×. See whether you can compress EC2 / GKE to 1/3–1/4, estimated on next month's bill with your production jar.

Experience — Operations / QA
Faster, yet the results are identical

The sequential and parallel versions are SHA-256 matched on every run; on any mismatch it rolls back instantly (90/90 verified). So every regression test passes unchanged.

Adoption — CTO
git diff is empty

OrderBatch.java doesn't change by a single byte. At build time it reads the bytecode and adds a parallel version (Java agent / .NET profiler / Rust proc-macro). 0 lines of source changed, no build changes required.

PSDP — Phase-Synchronous Deterministic Parallelism (internals)

Deterministic parallelism, injected at build time with zero source changes.

PSDP is a standalone product that reads an existing app's intermediate representation (bytecode / IL / proc-macro expansion) and generates, at build time, a parallel version guaranteed to produce results identical to the sequential one. The source doesn't change by a single byte (git diff is empty). Supports 16 languages (Java / C# / Rust / Go / Kotlin and more).

① Injection mechanism by language
Java

A Java agent reads the bytecode at load time and injects parallel-version classes.

.NET

Rewrites the IL via the Profiler API, switching to the parallel version before JIT.

Rust

Expanded at compile time via proc-macro. Zero-cost abstraction preserved.

② Determinism guarantee mechanism
  • On every run, the sequential and parallel outputs are SHA-256 matched; on mismatch, instant rollback (90/90 verified).
  • Phase-sync eliminates execution-order nondeterminism across threads → bit-identical no matter how many times you run it.
  • Measured 2.97–4.23× (workload-dependent). Cut EC2 / GKE server count to 1/3–1/4.
$ git diff --stat OrderBatch.java
# 0 files changed (source unchanged; parallelization injected at build time)
③ The same determinism engine — SlimeNENC (structural projection Slot IR, no meaning inference)

It projects the source structure onto Slot IR (π) and transcribes it structure-preserving to the target. No wobbly “understand the meaning” step. 378/378 for Java 8→17 / 17→21, 5,270/5,270 for COBOL→Java (NIST FIPS 21-3 501/501 + 11 external corpora), all bit-exact and third-party reproducible in a sandbox.

AS/400 · IBM i — keep your core running / Device × Language

If the AS/400 stops, the company stops.
So we transplant the whole box.

End-of-support, no one left who can read the RPG, can't-fix-because-can't-touch — all of it. Drop the hardware; keep the contents running as-is.

Cost — Management / IT
The renewal contract, gone

Hardware maintenance, a dedicated data center, power draw. Retire the box and next year's renewal contract disappears with it. The contents run as portable code in Linux containers — the same on EC2 or on-prem.

Experience — Frontline / Operations
Behavior is bit-identical

CL, RPG, COBOL, the job flow, the return values — identical down to decimal rounding. Users won't even notice the screens changed. Not a “migration,” a “continuation.”

Adoption — CTO
Unit by unit, from a single CL

Not everything at once. We byte-compared bash / Rust output against results from real IBM i hardware and verified 3/3 exact matches. Fixed-length CHAR and decimal-format gaps were ironed out on real hardware. Over 1,700 real RPG programs already processed.

For CL, we byte-compared the original run on real IBM i hardware against SlimeCL's bash / Rust output — 3/3 bit-exact verified. The fixed-length CHAR and decimal-format gaps that real hardware exposed have been fixed and published.

LANGUAGE — COBOL modernization / Language

COBOL migrations fail
because they try to understand the meaning.

No. Embrace the black box. The source itself is the spec. Skip the wobbly “meaning” step and copy the whole structure without changing a single bit.

No failure — Management
Avoid tens-of-billions-yen losses

CBA / IRS / TSB Bank. Every tens-of-billions-yen failure came from the “understand the meaning and rewrite it” step. Even for the same code, how people read its meaning wobbles. We discard that wobbly step and transport only the 0101 structure, preserved. That's why it doesn't fail.

No stoppage — Audit
Even where 1 cent off is a federal violation

Across US federal COBOL validation FIPS 21-3 + 11 external corpora + 7 Medicare lineages, all 5,270 / 5,270 bit-exact at 100.000%. Anyone can reproduce it third-party in a sandbox. In the Medicare domain, where 1¢ off is a federal violation, 675/675 succeeded. Not stalling under audit is what audit-first means.

No doubt — QA / IT
The same result every run

LLM-based migration wobbles even on the same input. We use algebra, not probability. Every run gives an exact SHA-256 match. Even when the source is lost, SlimeRESCUE reconstructs C / Java from the executable alone (an estimated 12–24 billion-line market). Not just legacy — Python→Rust is bit-exact on the same engine too.

* On to the counter to the common narrative, the 4 points, and SlimePython details.

LANGUAGE · highlights (rationale / products)

The common narrative

“The key to successful COBOL modernization is not merely ‘replacing an old language with new technology,’ but an organizational approach of ‘management decisions’ and ‘team design.’”

No. Embrace the black box.

COBOL migration needs no “understand the meaning” step. Treat the source code itself as the spec and transcribe it bit-exact, deterministically. That's all.

① Drop meaning extraction

Avoids the tens-of-billions-yen failures of CBA / IRS / TSB Bank. Just transport it without changing a single bit.

② The Brooks rebuttal

No contradiction with “no silver bullet.” A lineage that preserves and transports rather than re-expresses.

③ Algebra, not probability

LLM-based migration gives wobbling results. Ours is a single-bit match every run.

④ Handles lost source too

SlimeRESCUE reconstructs C / Java from the executable alone, covering an estimated 12–24 billion-line uncontested market.

Measured (2026-05-20): Across US federal COBOL validation (FIPS 21-3) + 11 corpora + 7 Medicare lineages, all 5,270 / 5,270 bit-exact matches (100.000%). Anyone can reproduce it third-party in a sandbox.

★ LANGUAGE impact ★ DEVICE I/O included SlimeTree-VSAM / Storage

The moment migration ends,
the nightly batch stops finishing.

Even copied bit-exact via the black box, if the target is PostgreSQL the financial core's nightly window collapses. 19.5 hours for a billion records won't finish by morning.

It finishes — Operations / BC
The next morning's accounts run

480× vs PostgreSQL 16 on a same-host bench. Sequential cursor 480×, random 267×. A billion-record nightly batch goes 19.5h → 4.4 min. A direct answer to overnight-window collapse. Because the batch finishes, the next morning's accounts run.

No doubt — Audit / Legal
One binary and you're done

A SHA-256 audit chain is built into the backend. Tamper detection works even air-gapped. Who did what, when — the trail stays intact, so when audit asks, you hand over that one binary and you're done.

No replacement — CTO / Migration lead
Zero re-migration risk

You don't throw away PostgreSQL. Just set VSAM-compatible KSDS / ESDS / RRDS alongside it as a single Rust binary. The general-purpose DB stays as-is; only the batch routes to the VSAM side. So re-migration risk is zero. A simple record-body variant, a member of the Slime storage family.

★ LANGUAGE impact ★ DEVICE I/O included

Once migration's done, storage is next.

Even after transporting bit-exact by embracing the black box, if the target is a general-purpose DB like PostgreSQL, many financial cores see the nightly-batch window collapse. SlimeTree-VSAM provides VSAM (KSDS / ESDS / RRDS)-compatible native storage as a single Rust binary — 480× faster than PostgreSQL on a same-host bench, with a built-in SHA-256 audit chain so tamper detection works even air-gapped. A simple record-body variant, a member of the Slime storage family.

③ Sovereignty — AI / RLM / AI

Cut, clamp, keep.

Borrow the intelligence if you like. But as long as you hold the “clamp” that ultimately validates the AI's output, sovereignty never leaves your hands. The clamp is 272KB, zero transmission, deterministic. Its 8 functions fold into these 3 verbs.

A fully in-house AI pipeline — self-contained with an RLM deterministic core + a local LM (Gemma4 teacher) + LoRA training (student); external AI is a gated exception (BYOK). Up to 8.8× less inference compute.

Split questions into D / µ / R; use the expensive model minimally.

Machine-classifies questions into D (direct answer) / µ (decay) / R (residual) and minimizes external LLM calls. Every step carries a SHA-256 audit chain. Platform integration spans 18 published Meta / X / Google routes, with a full cost-tier B run and a measured 28% R ratio. “Cheap LLM first → RLM re-judges → only the shortfall to the expensive LLM” avoids wasteful high-cost calls.

Lies, to 1/3. The evidence trail, 10 years on, in one second.

The weights are never touched, not one bit. Clamp with a table, keep with SHA-256.

Clamp — Frontline / Operations
Clamp AI's wobble with a table

Rows = requests, columns = rules. Say in plain language “overseas travel up to ¥300,000 with a director's approval” and the tool translates it to S-expressions (Gemma4). You never write Lisp. Standard cases up front; sudden non-standard ones can be added on the spot with no deploy, pinned by version for the audit trail. Pick from a template and issue via golden tests.

Keep — Legal / Audit / IT
Tampering caught instantly, reproducible 10 years on

Same input → byte-for-byte identical. Each step is hash-chained with SHA-256; tampering is caught instantly and replayable. With weights unchanged, hallucination 66%→22% (σ4%, 100 questions ×3). Same meaning regardless of word order → the same judgment in Japanese, English, and Korean.

A single 272KB Rust binary; WASM-only, no server needed. Fully in-browser, zero transmission, runs even air-gapped. That's why sovereignty never leaves your hands.
