Submicron Systems Architecture Project

Abstract
This document is a summary of the research activities and results for the seven-month period, 1 April 1988 to 31 October 1988, 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. Changes in Key Personnel Dr. William C. Athas completed his appointment as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Computer Science in August 1988, and has joined the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science. Dr. Stephen Taylor, a new PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science and the author of a multicomputer implementation of fiat concurrent prolog, joined the project in September 1988 with an appointment at Caltech as an Instructor in Computer Science.
