The Way Computer Chips of the 21st Century Should Look

While the technology to make computer chips smaller and cheaper progresses
each year, the fundamental structure of the chip – the computer architecture
– has remained the same for decades. This led Professor David May in the
Department of Computer Science at The
University of Bristol to think about what a computer chip should look like
for the twenty-first century.
