Memory Systems and Pipelined Processors / Edition 1

by Harvey G. Cragon

Overview

As a thorough compendium of both historical and contemporary implementation techniques, this is an essential sourcebook for a graduate course in computer architecture and for practicing professionals. This text offers an in-depth treatment of the implementation details of memory systems and pipelined processors, the "microarchitecture" of modern computers and microprocessors. Exploring techniques for solving the design problems inherent in computers with high levels of concurrency, such as the demand for a memory system with low latency and high bandwidth, branching, providing precise interrupts, managing dependencies and insuring coherency.Additionally, it examines the difficulties presented by virtual memory in high performance computers. As a thorough compendium of both historical and contemporary implementation techniques, this is an essential sourcebook for computer architecture students and practicing professionals. Graduate level text that offers an in-depth treatment of the implementation details of memory systems and pipeline processors. Microarchitecture Memory Systems Microprocessors © 1996 | 592 pages
