SRSU Coach Dick Hunker is modest about his team's expectations. "We felt this would be a building year after losing three starters, including two All-Americans last year," Hunker said. Hunker has been coaching the Rockets for 18 years, but he doubles as chair of the Computer Science Department...
Of all the announcements, none has generated as much anticipation as the one to be made this week by Motorola, the largest U.S. supplier of semiconductors (1987 sales: $6.7 billion). The electronics giant has etched 1.7 million transistors into a three-chip microprocessor called the 88000 that it hopes will...
How do the new chips achieve their performance breakthroughs? In a word: RISC, for reduced instruction set computer. RISC is not a new technology, but a fresh approach to computing that challenges 25 years of semiconductor design. It focuses on a computer's most basic commands: the instructions that are...
Over the years, the basic instruction sets grew in length, as miniaturization allowed computer designers to etch more circuits into silicon chips. The most advanced microprocessors began to resemble state-of-the-art calculators that could compute everything from square roots to compound interest at the touch of a button...
A new breed of lightning- fast silicon chips challenges 25 years of computer design. -- Has the picture phone finally arrived?
