scaling has placed greater pressure on innovative devices Based on the technical challenges outlined in and circuits to deliver more energy-efficient technologies Chapter 1, the committee identified four research areas for building microprocessors. To explore the research critical to addressing the computing performance capabilities in these areas, the committee analyzed challenge and the shift to multicore processors: papers from three conferences -- two in semiconductor semiconductor devices and circuits, computer and nanoscale devices and one in semiconductor circuits architecture, programming systems, and applications.
