A look at how to add more addressable memory, wider registers, greater accuracy and a larger register set.
Why 64-bit? It seems that is a question with many answers! For some, it will be the need to address more than 4GB of memory, for others the need for wider registers and greater accuracy of 64-bit data processing, for still others the attraction of a larger register set.
Whatever your reason for looking to move to 64-bit, it is likely that you will have a body of legacy software which will need porting as well as new code which needs writing. This paper is designed to help with both processes.

New market opportunities and global competitiveness are limited by qualified people.
Better algorithms and more data could bolster adoption, particularly at advanced nodes.
Showing that a processor core adheres to a specification becomes more difficult when the specification is extensible.
New approaches are competing for attention as scaling benefits diminish.
Deeper understanding of equipment behavior and market needs will have broad impact across the semiconductor supply chain.
2019 will be a year of change for the semiconductor industry as new fields drive technological advancements.
What hoops will designers have to jump through to avoid concurrency bugs?
This new communications standard could transform architectural decisions across the industry, but not right away and not necessarily in obvious ways.
Maximum flexibility is no longer the reliable path to product success. While flexibility must be there for a purpose, it also can be a liability.
Why managing power is becoming more difficult, more critical, and much more expensive.
Analog circuitry stopped following Moore’s Law a long time ago, but that hasn’t always helped.
Battery-powered designs require complex optimizations for power in the context of area, performance and functionality.
Accuracy is a relative term that complicates design and verification. Machine learning makes the industry face some of those realities head on.
