SIGMICRO (Panel Session)

Abstract

Current notions on computer architecture vary from the superficial-the shape of the cabinetry (with blinking lights, of course) - to abstract definitions of functional structures for information processing systems. An “orthodox” view of computer architecture underlies all these notions. This session will present a wide range of views on the future computer architecture: the “orthodox” evolutionary change and, finally the totally “unorthodox.”
