In this article the authors describe an approach to computer system design that we feel is very attractive for GaAs technology. The strategy involves the use of a single-chip GaAs processor, an increased role for the compiler, and an aggressive migration of functions from hardware to the compiler. In fact, the authors believe that the advantages of GaAs technology cannot be fully exploited without further developments in compiler technology. This article follows previous papers on GaAs processor design and GaAs system design, and completes our overview of GaAs technology-based computer system design.
