Microprocessors in pathology

Articles on the use of computer systems, both mainframe and minicomputer, in pathology laboratories have been prolific over the last few years. It might therefore be assumed that a discussion on the role ofthe microprocessor is essentially similar but on a smaller and humbler scale. I hope to show, however, that the microprocessor has a very distinct and significant role in the pathology depart...

Memory Faults in Asynchronous Microprocessors

The precise exception model [1] views an exception as Although a large number of asynchronous microprocessors have now been designed, relatively few have attempted to handle memory faults. Memory faults create problems for the design of any pipelined system which are exacerbated by the non-deterministic nature of an asyn-

Microprocessors: The New LUT

Hardware design for high performance computing appears to be reaching its limits on several fronts. In the desktop microprocessor world, clock speeds seem to have reached their peak somewhere below 10 GHz. Power consumption has begun to approach, and in some cases surpass, 100 W. These issues, along with the problems of managing designs of approximately a billion transistors have caused one of ...
