A killer micro is a microprocessor-based machine that infringes on mini, mainframe, or supercomputer performance turf. Often heard in "No one will survive the attack of the killer micros!", the battle cry of the downsizers. Used especially of RISC architectures.
Taken from the title of Eugene Brooks' (of Lawrence Livermore Labs) 1989 paper "Attack of the Killer Micros".
