  • Abstract
    The design of RCA´s 32-bit GaAs microprocessor is described. Technology limitations and influences of the software environment are discussed. The details of the instruction set architecture (ISA) and the instruction execution sequence (IES) are described. The essence of the original contributions of the research and the design is emphasized. The simulated performance evaluation data are presented.
