Object-oriented Computer Architectures for New Generation of ADnlications Ramesh K. Karne Computer and Information Sciences Towson State Universtiy Towson, Maryland 21204 karne @ midget, towson. edu Abstract Since the inception of von-Neumann architecture for computer design, there has been no new paradigms or revolutions in computer architectures. Computer applications have been increasing at an exponential rate, however, the basic computer architectures remained the same. The conventional computer architectures, which are based on primitive building blocks including arithmetic logic units, floating point processor units, logical shift units, and register file units created tremendous sematic-gap and inefficiencies in information system processing. It is about time to revisit the standard vonNeumann computation model and argue about its cfficicncics, as we arc entering into a new era of information processing where applications don t have any boundaries in computation, communicati Less
