FIFTH GENERATION COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE

This paper is presented as a discussion of fifth generation computer architectures. It is important to predict computer architectures for computers to be developed in 1990's on the basis of observable technological trends and anticipated applications. However, numerous questions arise and it is difficult to prepare the answers to all questions. The intent of this paper is to suggest reasonable approaches to developments of fifth generation computer architectures and to offer major research subjects to be pursued for future computers.
