Abstract
F-RISC/I is a monolithic GaAs microprocessor with a seven stage pipeline implemented with SBFL standard cells. It is targeted at a clock rate of 400 MHz with a CPI of 1.45. The impacts of GaAs technology on system architecture, CPU architecture, circuit level optimization, implementation, performance, and testing of F-RISC/I are discussed. The GaAs technology environment is investigated and compared to that of Si.<>
