Submicron Systems Architecture Project

Abstract

This document is a summary of research activities and results for the seven-month period, 1 April 1989 to 31 October 1989, under the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) Submicron Systems Architecture Project. Previous semiannual technical reports and other technical reports covering parts of the project in detail are listed following these summaries, and can be ordered from the Caltech Computer Science Library. The central theme of this research is the architecture and design of VLSI systems appropriate to a microcircuit technology scaled to submicron feature sizes. Our work is focused on VLSI architecture experiments that involve the design, construction, programming, and use of experimental message-passing concurrent computers, and includes related efforts in concurrent computation and VLSI design.
