Embracing and Extending 20th-Century Instruction Set Architectures.

A case study regarding vector architecture is presented. An example is provided for improving old network architecture with a small set of extensions. Network engineers extended an 80x86 architecture and PowerPC to support a full vector architecture. Vector architectures grab sets of data elements s...
