Abstract: Existing approaches to the architecture, organization, and design of modern CPUs are summarized, and a promising new strategy is defined: catalytic migration. The discussion that follows concentrates on three issues: classification of catalytic migration approaches, examples of catalytic migration approaches, and the related performance evaluation.
Key words: Microprocessor architectures, catalytic migration, GaAs technology.
