Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the bet-you-can't-eat-just-one dept.

Nyxs writes to tell us Sci-Tech-Today is reporting that researchers at the University of Texas are taking a new approach to designing microprocessor architecture. Doug Berger, a computer science professor at the University of Texas, and his colleagues hope to solve many of the pressing problems facing chip designers today with the new "microprocessor and instruction set architecture called Trips, or the Teraop Reliable Intelligently Adaptive Processing System."
