Beyond 1 GHz
Abstract
This presentation reports on ongoing work at the IBM Austin Research Laboratory following the development of the 1 GHz microprocessor prototype. We discuss how to realize larger microprocessor designs without sacrificing cycle time, and we discuss some of the challenges we face in achieving frequencies that are significantly higher than 1GHz.
