ALPHA ARCHITECTURE TECHNICAL SUMMARY
Dick Sites
Digital Equipment Corporation
Thursday, May 28, 1992
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm,
Refreshments available starting at 2:00 pm
Abstract:
Alpha is the internal name for a new 64-bit RISC architecture, designed
with particular emphasis on speed, multiple instruction issue, multiple
processors, software migration from VAX/VMS and MIPS/Ultrix, and long
lifetime. The architects rejected any feature that did not appear to
be usable for at least 25 years.
The first product implementation is a single 200 MHz dual-issue CMOS
chip (400 MIPS peak). The speed of Alpha implementations is expected
to scale up from this by at least a factor of 1000 over the next 25
years.
