The present time sees a bigger trade between performance and power consumption,
but that's all in the realm of optimization.
A mentor of mine in the software world once said something to me to the
Lately I was wondering if we could design hardware inspired on Program Algebra
(PGA) and Maurer Computers.
PGA is an algebraic framework for sequential programming. PGA's creator Jan
Bergstra writes in Why PGA?:
We have spotted Maurer's 1967 JACM paper on 'A theory of computer
instructions'
