Computer architecture shouldn't depend on what
is doable in hardware at the moment. The folly of the
day. Technologies will progress and lame choices made
in the past because of hardware technological reasons
will hinder the future software developments.
Computer architecture should always be a compromise
between hard and software. And therefore a compromise
between hardware men and software men.
And also a compromise with marketing men and
finance men etc.
Let's give up the MISC dream! It's over, get real!
