Abstract

The design and development of the million-transistor N10 chip, which is aimed at workstations and supercomputers, is described. This superfast microprocessor is also the company's first chip to use a reduced instruction set. The chip is designed for testability, executes each instruction in one clock cycle, and features on-chip parallelism
