  • Abstract
    The various forms of logic that are contenders for application to supercomputing are described, and their characteristics are compared. They include Si emitter-coupled logic and BiCMOS, and GaAs direct-coupled field-effect-transistor and current-mode logic. The potential of GaAs memory is also examined.<>
