The objective of this thesis is to describe the logical design of a general purpose digital computer presenting the arguments underlying the final choices of operation and components. It said that among the major risks that prospective investors must be prepared to accept are "substantial and difficult technical problems in developing the advanced, very large-scale integrated [VLSI] semiconductor circuitry necessary for the success of the computer design." In addition to the ability to run faster, WSI had a key advantage over IBM’s approach: it removed the need for hundreds of fault-prone interconnects between smaller integrated circuits.
