A revolutionary new approach from an alliance of major industry partners is developing the most dramatic advance in multimedia performance the PC has ever seen. Code-named "Talisman," the new architecture, being jointly developed by Microsoft, Silicon ...

The Mpact-1 media processor is a member of a new class of processor architectures that accelerates a number of multimedia functions concurrently through a combination of hardware and software. Both the unique hardware architecture and software approach ...

The PA-8000 RISC CPU is the first implementation of a new generation of microprocessors from Hewlett-Packard Company. The processor was designed for high-end systems and to support the new 64-bit PA-RISC 2.0 architecture. The aggressive four-way ...

Two trends call into question the current practice of microprocessors and DRAMs being fabricated as different chips on different fab lines: 1) the gap between processor and DRAM speed is growing at 50% per year; and 2) the size and organization of ...

picoJava -I is a small, flexible microprocessor core designed to directly execute Java bytecodes. The primary goal of this core is to enable chips with the best price/performance solution for running Java applications on a broad class of devices. The ...

We describe a technique for the design and analysis of a simple asynchronous microprocessor from a Labeled Petri Net specification. The implementation is obtained by means of refinement, transformation and translation. Several versions of the ...

This work present a new tools for the developing complex systems which use fuzzy logic and neural networks technology. We propose a model, named IDEA, to build complex control systems from a biological origin. This model builds of block ANS linked by ...

Today's computer industry, particularly the PC industry, is in love with the culture of irreverence and adolescent behaviors. To get the point, just imagine how much more fun HAL would be if a consortium of Valley software developers were to design him ...

Should marketers providing e-mail advertising to sellers of weight loss, phone sex, and get-rich-quick-scheme services have a right to send unsolicited e-mail via online services such as AOL? Does the First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantee ...

Many of the innovative designs described in IEEE Micro owe their physical existence to MOSIS, a service that provides low-cost prototypes by sharing the prohibitive cost of fabrication among multiple customers. To find out how MOSIS will take on future ...
