For
the first time, advances in semiconductor manufacturing do not lead to
a corresponding increase in performance. At 65nm and below, it is predicted
that only a small portion of performance increase will be attributed to
shrinking geometries while the lion share is due to innovative processor
architectures. To substantiate this assertion, it is instructive to look
at major drivers of the semiconductor industry: wireless communications
and multimedia. Both areas are characterized by an exponentially increasing
demand of computational power, which cannot be provided in an energy-efficient
manner by traditional processor architectures. Today's applications in
wireless communications and multimedia require highly-specialized and optimized
architectures. To learn more, order
