INTRODUCTION
In the mid 1990s, IC fabrication technology was advanced enough to allow unprecedented implementations of computer architectures on a single chip. Also, the current rate of process advancement allows implementations to be improved at a rate that is satisfying for most of the markets these implementations serve. In particular, the vendors of general-purpose microprocessors are competing for sockets in desktop personal computers (including workstations) by pushing the envelopes of clock rate (raw operating speed) and parallel execution.The market for desktop microprocessors is proving to be extremely dynamic. In particular, the x86 market has surprised many observers by attaining performance levels and price/performance levels that many thought were out of reach. The reason
