Abstract [en]

The first microprocessor was built in 1971, at that time no one could have anticipated how widely it would infiltrate the modern world. Since the Intel 4004 microprocessor which had a four bit word length 45 instructions and consisted of about 2.200 trasistors we have seen great progress in microprocessor design. In the next few years we will see advences in semicon- ductor technology, pipelining techniques, lager and faster cache memory, scalability, compiler techniques,operating systems,co-processors, off chip communications etc. These factors will drive the performance of the next generation of microprocessors past 1 bullion instructions per second, operating at clock frequencies over 250 MHz, with over 2Mb cache memory and a 64 bit address space and taking advantage of semiconductor technologies like GaAs and fast CMOS.
