Computing With Billion Transistor Chips
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of more powerful computers is to enable more demanding applications. I will not venture to take a guess at what will be the dominant "killer applications" for billion transistor chips. Historically new applications have arisen as computers became more powerful; I expect the future to be no different. New applications will continue to demand more and more computing power. The problem of computing is then one of determining how to provide a desired level of computing power given the available technologies.

متن کاملHierarchical Multi-Threading For Exploiting Parallelism at Multiple Granularities
As we approach billion-transistor processor chips, the need for a new architecture to make eÆcient use of the increased transistor budget arises. Many studies have shown that signi cant amounts of parallelism exist at di erent granularities that is yet to be exploited. Architectures such as superscalar and VLIW use centralized resources, which prohibit scalability and hence the ability to make ...
