Abstract
Forecasting the implications of technology is even harder than forecasting technological trends, although even the latter can prove wildly inaccurate. This and the next two chapters describe some ideas about future microarchitectures based on technological forecasts. Principal problems and possible application domains are stated. All architectures described are still in survey stage. Up to now only simulation studies exist and very few prototype implementations are available. So most of this and the following two chapters is highly speculative.
Everything that can be invented has been invented. US Commissioner of Patents, 1899.
I think there is a world market for about five computers. Thomas J. Watson Sr., IBM founder, 1943.
