Abstract

To improve the performance of microprocessor, many kinds of novel architecture, such as multi-thread processor, CMP, PIM, and reconfigurable computing processor, have been proposed. These new processors improve performance mainly dependant on making use of all kinds of parallelism of workloads, solving the speed mismatch between processor and external memory, reconfigurable computing, and etc. This paper summarizes characteristic of these kinds of architecture, and predicts the development trends of microprocessor in the future.
