This new edition, bringing the material up-to-date in the light of technological and architectural developments of the past five years, deals mainly with techniques used in uniprocessor architectures to attain high performance, and is designed for courses in computer architecture. This volume deals ...
This architecture has characteristics consistent with future processor predictions arguing hundreds [9] and thousands [10], [11] of cores on a chip. The Epiphany architecture is also interesting from a computer architecture perspective. The 2D mesh topology of the RISC array network creates a ...
The processor requires aRAMmemory, with an address register (MAR) and a data register (MDR). There therefore needs to be a load signal for each of these registers: MDR_load and MAR_load. As it is a memory, there also needs to be an enable signal (M_en), and also a signal to den...
Array-Processor ArchitecturesA formal approach for the transformation of computation intensive digital signal processing algorithms into suitable array processor architectures is presented. It covers the complete design flow from algorithmic specifications in a high-level programming language to architecture ...
Withsoftware-based RAID, the controller uses the resources of the hardware system, such as the central processor unit (CPU) and memory. While it performs the same functions as a hardware-based RAID controller, software-based RAID controllers may not enable as much of a performance boost and ca...
In PGA, the pins are arranged in a grid pattern on the underside of the processor. They extend down into the socket and connect directly to the motherboard. Examples of PGA include Intel Pentium processors. In LGA, the contacts that connect to the motherboard are placed on the surface of...
A parallel array processor for massively parallel applications is formed with low power CMOS with DRAM processing while incorporating processing elements on a single chip. Eight processors on a single
Having a large number of processing elements, array processors offer a promising solution to the computational requirements in real-time digital signal processing. From the fault tolerance point of view the regularity and locality of the array processor presents unique advantages as well as new constra...
6. In a processor for a digital computer adapted to combine, in response to three successive instruction words retrieved from a memory along with the elements of a first and a second matrix to be combined to form a third matrix, each one of such words including an operation code, an opera...
