内容简介
"A rare look into high-performance main-stream processors exposed with clarity and elegance". —Harold Stone, NEC Research Institute
"A unique combination of a very well developed, scholarly, thorough, long-term, perspective with detailed hands-on insight into actual current industrial practices". —Tore Larsen, Princeton University and University of Tromso
"There are few books on the market which can compete with this text either in the technical depth of the presentation, or the completeness of the coverage". —Ron Hoelzeman, University of Pittsburgh
"The best and easiest way to learn how the latest superscalar microprocessors really work. Not only are the microarchitectural features well presented, but they are presented along with a historical context which shows that the new microprocessors have inherited much from the supercomputers of the 60's and 70's". —Edmund Gallizzi, Eckerd College
This work describes in detail the microarchitecture of a high-performance microprocessor, giving an integrated treatment of platform and systems issues relating to the design and implementation of microprocessor-based systems. Unique in content and approach, the accompanying interactive CD-ROM provides multiple books and a wide variety of materials:
Complete data books
Articles from journals and conference proceedings
Manuscripts of important historical interest
IEEE and Industry standards
VHDL and Verilog simulators
Numerous video and audio clips
Complete text of the book, including figures and tables
Shriver and Smith use AMD's K6 3D microprocessor as a "case study" basis for discussions on microarchitecture issues and increasingly important industry specfications and platforms on systems issues. This book is an important reference for individuals building systems using microprocessors and readers looking for significant insights into fundamental design guidelines that transcend the design, implementation, and use of a specific microprocessor. Practitioners, academics, and technical and product managers alike will benefit from this detailed overview of microprocessors, platforms, and systems for years in the future.
The main sections:
Microprocessors, Platforms, and Systems
A Microarchitecture Case Study
The K6 3D Microarchitecture
Technology Components of Platform Architecture
Platform Memory Technology
Platform Optimization Techniques and Directions
