How is it going to make RISC and CISC obsolete?

Came across this paper


I'll be honest - I have no idea what this is about - so I went looking. The short answer is that I'm not sure you'll get much trattic here on SO about this.

Natrually I turned to Wikipedia; amongst other things I found that...

HP later asserted that "EPIC" was merely an old term for the Itanium architecture.

Reading about Itanium on Wikipedia makes it sound like Itanuims going away - not forward, and the articles I've seen to mix Itanium and EPIC as though they are the same thing - which they aren't - it's just that Itanuim seems to be the first (only?) EPIC based system.

In addition to CISC there's also "Zero instruction set computer" (ZISC), and others - but it took me a while to find a reference to EPIC in the CISC / RISC based content. I wasn't able to open the article you found :(
