Default A new computer architecture

Dear All:

Please visit my site at:
http://mysite.verizon.net/~vze26krk/CPM.html

There, I will discuss the end of Moore's law, and a new computer
architecture with I have proposed in 2003. Here is the abstract of my
paper:

"A novel memory with limited processing power and internal connectivity
at each element is proposed. This memory carries out parallel processing
within itself. Many common algorithms using this memory are discussed. For
an array of N items, it reduces the total instruction cycle count of
universal operations such as insertion and match finding to ~ 1, local
operations such as filtering and pattern recognition to ~ local operation
size, and global operations such as sum and sorting to ~ sqrt(N).
Particularly, it eliminates most streaming activities for data processing
purpose on the data bus. Yet it remains general purposed, easy to use, pin
compatible with conventional memory, and practical for implementation. In
addition, some new designs, such as all-line decoder, general decoder,
parallel shifter, parallel comparator, parallel adder and parallel divider,
are presented."

Please drop a line to my email at:

Regards,
Chengpu Wang

Err... that sounds stunningly like my 2nd year CS/EE degree project on
VSLI design at Edinburgh University, circa 1983. The processing I was
putting into the memory was simpler (hey, it was *1983*), but tuned to
specific applications (string and set operations, as I recall).

The snag is the software. Until you get a mechanism to more-or-less
transparently offload the special-purpose processing without
re-writing the app, it's nothing more than a curiosity.

(see the speed of adoption of the "new" instructions in Intel and AMD
processors -- SSE, etc. -- and the rationale for CPUs with
hyperthreading...)
