    ABSTRACT:: The Stanford Nanosecond Arithmetic Project is targeted at
               realizing an arithmetic processor with performance
               approximately an order of magnitude faster than currently
               available technology. The realization of SNAP is predicated
               on an interdisciplinary approach and effort spanning research
               in algorithms, data representation, CAD, circuits and
               devices, and packaging. SNAP is visualized as an arithmetic
               coprocessor implemented on an active substrate containing
               several chips, each of which realize a particular arithmetic
               function. This year's report highlights recent results in the
               area of wave pipelining. We have fabricated a number of
               prototype die, implementing a multiplier slice. Cycle times
               below 5ns were realized.
