A more detailed description of a possible CCA
model of execution and logical structure that supports
it is presented later. But here we identify some of the
critical benefits anticipated of Continuum Computer
Architecture for nanoscale technology:
x
Organizes all computing actions in local
domains of action
x
Exposes mammoth memory bandwidth to
overcome memory wall
x
Permeates the system with arithmetic-logic
units to eliminate sources of potential
contention and latency increases inherent in
typical centralized approaches
x
Exploits and exposes the full potential of
nanoscale processing capability
x
Employs an asynchronous message-driven
computing model for split-transaction
execution and latency hiding
