Description for Microprocessor Architecture
Hardcover. This book describes the architecture of microprocessors from simple in-order short pipeline designs to out-of-order superscalars. Num Pages: 382 pages, 104 b/w illus. 20 tables 117 exercises. BIC Classification: TJFD1; UYF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 260 x 183 x 25. Weight in Grams: 842.
This book gives a comprehensive description of the architecture of microprocessors from simple in-order short pipeline designs to out-of-order superscalars. It discusses topics such as: • The policies and mechanisms needed for out-of-order processing such as register renaming, reservation stations, and reorder buffers • Optimizations for high performance such as branch predictors, instruction scheduling, and load-store speculations • Design choices and enhancements to tolerate latency in the cache hierarchy of single and multiple processors • State-of-the-art multithreading and multiprocessing emphasizing single chip implementations Topics are presented as conceptual ideas, with metrics to assess the performance impact, if appropriate, and ...
