  • Abstract
    We first argue that the spectrum of processor architectures from general-purpose processors (GPPs) to application-specific processors (ASPs) to FPGA coprocessors is narrowing (but not converging), due to some dominating physical and economic forces. We then suggest some research opportunities driven by these forces
