   Registers reside within CPU and certainly are accessed much more efficiently,but I just cannot help thinking how silly we are to be content with such a
limited number of registers. When CPU was originally designed decades ago,
it was very costly to increase the size of CPU. Today, we still stick to
a single small-size CPU with no reason. It's high time for a revolution.
How many people can envision a microcomputer with thousands of big CPU, each
having thousands of registers?
