Download or read book Microprocessor Architectures written by Steve Heath and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Why are there all these different processor architectures and what do they all mean? Which processor will I use? How should I choose it?' Given the task of selecting an architecture or design approach, both engineers and managers require a knowledge of the whole system and an explanation of the design tradeoffs and their effects. This is information that rarely appears in data sheets or user manuals. This book fills that knowledge gap.Section 1 provides a primer and history of the three basic microprocessor architectures. Section 2 describes the ways in which the architectures react with the system. Section 3 looks at some more commercial aspects such as semiconductor technology, the design cycle, and selection criteria. The appendices provide benchmarking data and binary compatibility standards. Since the first edition of this book was published, much has happened within the industry. The Power PC architecture has appeared and RISC has become a more significant challenger to CISC. The book now includes new material on Power PC, and a complete chapter devoted to understanding the RISC challenge. The examples used in the text have been based on Motorola microprocessor families, but the system considerations are also applicable to other processors. For this reason comparisons to other designs have been included, and an overview of other processors including the Intel 80x86 and Pentium, DEC Alpha, SUN Sparc, and MIPS range has been given. Steve Heath has been involved in the design and development of microprocessor based systems since 1982. These designs have included VMEbus systems, microcontrollers, IBM PCs, Apple Macintoshes, and both CISC and RISC based multiprocessor systems, while using operating systems as varied as MS-DOS, UNIX, Macintosh OS and real time kernels. An avid user of computer systems, he has written numerous articles and papers for the electronics press, as well as books from Butterworth-Heinemann including VMEbus: A Practical Companion; PowerPC: A Practical Companion; MAC User's Pocket Book; UNIX Pocket Book; Upgrading Your PC Pocket Book; Upgrading Your MAC Pocket Book; and Effective PC Networking.

Book excerpt: This book defines the architecture requirements and minimum system requirementsfor a computer system that is designed to become an open industry standard.These requirements provide a description of the devices, interfaces, and dataformats required to design and build a PowerPC-based computer. This standard isdesigned to provide software compatibility for several operating environments.Systems built to these requirements can use industry-standard componentscurrently found in IBM-compatible and Apple® Macintosh® personal computers. Thesesystems are expected to run various future versions of operating systemsincluding Apple Mac OSTM, IBM AIXTM and PowerPCTM Editions of IBM OS/2 Warp ConnectTM,Microsoft Windows NTTM Workstation, Novell NetwareTM, and SunSoft SolarisTM. This book is the primary source of information for anyone developing a hardwareplatform, an operating system, or hardware component to be part of thesestandard systems. It describes the hardware-to-operating-system interface thatis essential to anyone building hardware platforms and provides the minimumsystem configurations that platform designers must meet when building a standardplatform. Component manufacturers require this information to producecompatible chips and adapters to use on these platforms, and software developersrequire the information on mandatory functions and documented interfaces. The architecture is intended to support a range of PowerPC microprocessor-based system implementations including portable, desktop, and server classsystems, and allows multiple operating-system implementations across a widerange of environments and functions. This enables new hardware and softwareenhancements that are necessary for the development of improved userinterfaces, higher performance, and broader operating environments.

Book excerpt: The introduction of the microprocessor in computer and system engineering has motivated the development of many new concepts and has simplified the design of many modern industrial systems. During the first decade of their life. microprocessors have shown a tremendous evolution in all possible directions (technology. power. functionality. I/O handling. etc). Of course putting the microprocessors and their environmental devices into properly operating systems is a complex and difficult task requiring high skills for melding and integrating hardware. and systemic components. software This book was motivated by the editors' feeling that a cohesive reference is needed providing a good coverage of modern industrial applications of microprocessor-based real time control, together with latest advanced methodological issues. Unavoidably a single volume cannot be exhaustive. but the present book contains a sufficient number of important real-time applications. The book is divided in two sections. Section I deals with general hardware. software and systemic topics. and involves six chapters. Chapter 1. by Gupta and Toong. presents an overview of the development of microprocessors during their first twelve years of existence.

Download or read book Interoperability Between Operating Systems and Microprocessors on Embedded Platforms written by Mong Tee Sim and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software designs and programming are limited by the hardware resources including the memory capacity and the CPU clock frequency of the system. This has opened up research and investigation into efficient computing systems and architectures. However, increasing the memory capacity and optimizing the CPU clock frequency alone will not be sufficient to fulfill today’s complex software algorithmic requirements. Therefore, it is imperative to incorporate some hardware-based algorithms and designs to satisfy the requirements of the software-based algorithms and also to address the constraints associated with the existing computing systems. In many cases, software algorithms are designed with none or minimal software optimizations, provided that these software designs meet the specifications. Software engineers and programmers typically depend on the compilers to perform necessary code optimizations. Although the current compilers have often satisfied the requirements of software algorithm designs, these compilers do not have knowledge about some software constructs including logical flow control, and spinwait for resources, which lead to CPU time wasted. Within the semiconductor devices, hardware has also reached its limitations such the power wall, the process geometry, and the parametric latencies. As a result, the choice of adding more memory and increasing the CPU clock frequency will soon be obsolete. If we hastily modify the way how microprocessors operate most software, if not all software will break. In order to modify the architecture of the microprocessor, a detailed study of hardware and software interoperability is crucial. In this research work, our main objective is to investigate the various issues and constraints associated with the interoperability between the operating systems (OSes) and the microprocessors on embedded platforms. Based on our extensive analyses, we design a novel and efficient five-virtual-core Pipelined Barrel Processor (PBP) that does not have control and data hazards. The PBP also addresses some of the issues and constraints associated with the interoperability between the OSes and the microprocessors on embedded platforms.
