CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Design and evaluation of modern uniprocessor computing systems. Evaluation methodology/metrics and caveats, instruction set design, advanced pipelining, instruction level ...

There’s always some debate around what style of architecture is best for certain computing applications, with some on the RISC side citing performance per watt and some on the CISC side citing ...

A technical paper titled “Constable: Improving Performance and Power Efficiency by Safely Eliminating Load Instruction Execution” was published by researchers at ETH Zürich and Intel Corporation. This ...

Data prefetching has emerged as a critical approach to mitigate the performance bottlenecks imposed by memory access latencies in modern computer architectures. By predicting the data likely to be ...

A computer architecture in which the program's instructions and the data reside in separate memory banks that are addressed independently. Named after the Mark I computer at Harvard University in the ...

Computers don’t simply "understand" code in the way humans do. They rely on a highly sophisticated series of steps to interpret, compile, and execute the instructions provided by code. In this video, ...

This project implements an enhanced 8-bit SAP-1 computer in Logisim Evolution with hardwired control and an extended instruction set (LDA, LDB, ADD, SUB, STA, JMP, HLT). It supports Automatic Mode ...

This project focused on understanding how the MARIE CPU fetches, decodes, and executes instructions. I implemented the SKIPCOND instruction and added a new CLEAR instruction, while completing a ...

Back in the early days of computing, manufacturers didn’t build a whole line of software-compatible computer systems where each system was aimed at a different price/performance point. Instead, each ...
