Features
Features include:
- Overview of major trends in computer architecture
- Complexity analysis of the data path of Instruction Level Parallel
processors, particularly of VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) and
superpipelined processors
- Derivation of the Transport Triggering concept illustrating processor
simplification
- In-depth analysis of the architecture design space of TTAs and evaluation
of architecture parameters
- Examination of the control and pipelining of instruction, function and
register units
- Description of a trajectory for the automatic synthesis of TTAs for
arbitrary applications written in a high level language
- Detailed description of a prototype TTA processor enabling the reader
to design an embedded computer system with excellent cost-performance ratio
Microprocessor Architectures is a cutting-edge text which will prove
invaluable to both industrial hardware and software engineers involved in
embedded system design and to postgraduate electrical engineering and computer
science students. This clearly-structured reference demonstrates the
versatility of TTAs and explores their influential role in the next generation
of computer architectures.
