Three years ago, unbeknownst to its participants, a race began among five major CPU vendors to bring to market the next generation ofRISC technology. Each re alized that pushing the performance envelope beyond 200 SPECint92 would require aggressive During the past three decades, a substantial growth in both the understanding and the application of fault-tolerant computing concepts has occurred. A good example is the aerospace field. Digital computing systems are now being used in aerospace applications for naviga- tion, instrumentation Few advertisements have proved to be as prophetic as one that appeared in the November 1 197 issue of Electronic News. It was placed by Intel Corporation, at that time a three-year-old manufacturer of MOS and bi- polar RAMs with annual sales of$9million and about

This report introduces RAMP, an architectural model for long-term processor reliability measurement. With aggresive transistor scaling and increasing processor power and temperature, reliability due to wear-out mechanisms is expected to become a significant
Internal organization of the Alpha 2116 a 300-MHz 64-bit quad-issue CMOS RISC microprocessor
free download
A new CMOS microprocessor , the Alpha 2116 reaches 200 mips/600 MFLOPS (peak performance). This new implementation of the Alpha architecture achieves SPECint92/SPECfp92 performance of 345/505 (estimated). At these performance levels, the
Dynamic voltage scaling and the design of a low-power microprocessor system
free download
This paper describes the design of a low-power microprocessor system that can run between 8Mhz at 1.1 V and 100MHz at 3.3 V. The ramifications of Dynamic Voltage Scaling, which allows the processor to dynamically alter its operating voltage at run-time, will be
Towards a time-predictable dual-issue microprocessor : The Patmos approach
free download
Current processors are optimized for average case performance, often leading to a high worst-case execution time (WCET). Many architectural features that increase the average case performance are hard to be modeled for the WCET analysis. In this paper we present Multiple microprocessor systems can provide an ap-propriate solution to the demand for additional com-puting power to meet new requirements and to support complex applications. To clarify the concept and its asso-ciated terminology, this article considers the

Building a high-performance microprocessor presents many reliability challenges. Designers must verify the correctness of large complex systems and construct implementations that work reliably in varied (and occasionally adverse) operating The SH4 is the latest SH series microprocessor . It achieives 360 MIPS and 1.4 GFLOPS at 200 MHz. Its architectural enhancement is based on two-way superscalar issue of instructions, separate instruction and data caches, and early stage branches. The main

In this paper we present code generation considerations for the ATT CRISP microprocessor . The architecture of CRISP is different from either current CISC or RISC machines in a number of ways. This opens the opportunity for several new types ofPrevious generations of microprocessors were limited by the available technology. Brooks, in an overview article,2 discusses how the technology con- straints and the perceived microprocessor market motivated early microprocessor architecture.
