Computer architecture is at a turning point. Radical changes occurred in the 1980s when the Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) philosophy, spurred in good part by academic research, permeated the industry as a reaction to the Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) complexities. Today, three decades later, we have reached a point where...

Over the pasi decade, there have been several shifts in the way compilers are built. New kinds of programming languages are being used: object-oriented languages with dynamic methods, functional languages with nested scope and first-class function closures; and many of these languages require garbage collection. New machines have...
