  abstract = {In this paper we examine the opportunities brought about
     by recent progress in electronic nanotechnology and describe the
     methods needed to harness them for building a new computer
     architecture. In this process we decompose some traditional
     abstractions, such as the transistor, into fine-grain pieces,
     such as signal restoration and input-output isolation. We also
     show how we can forgo the extreme reliability of CMOS circuits
     for low-cost chemical self-assembly at the expense of large
     manufacturing defect densities. We discuss advanced testing
     methods which can be used to recover perfect functionality from
     unreliable parts. We proceed to show how the molecular switch,
     the regularity of the circuits created by self-assembly and the
     high defect densities logically require the use of reconfigurable
     hardware as a basic building block for hardware design. We then
     capitalize on the convergence of compilation and hardware
     synthesis (which takes place when programming reconfigurable
     hardware) to propose the complete elimination of the
     instruction-set architecture from the system architecture, and
     the synthesis of asynchronous dataflow machines directly from
     high-level programming languages, such as C. We discuss in some
     detail a scalable compilation system that perform this task.},
